Retention rates
by: curiousPeople always post on here about retention rates and which houses PNMs tend to want back most. Where is this data? Please enlighten us since you are able to post about which chapters have higher retention rates and therefore are the best.

Each semester UA Greek Life page publishes sorority/fraternity grade reports that show chapter grades, membership numbers, and who added spring members(COB). Very easy to see who has poor GPA or who had lots of members drop (especially if you look for patterns over past couple of reports). Facts show GRs best ranks may not be the best and GRs worst ranks may not be the worst. PNMs do your homework.

It’s a conundrum. The more houses are willing to take a chance on out of state and especially out of region PNMs, the more likely it is that they will have a lower retention rate. The Alabama girls are the most likely to stay all 4 years. We all want to take out of state PNMs but it can definitely hurt our numbers. AL girls are the safest bet, but if we take too many, it hurts the overall quality of our PCs. In general, the out of state girls are stronger IMO.
Also some of the GA and NC freshman who didn’t get into their home instate university and came to UA for their freshman year will transfer back to their home state as sophomores (because UGA and UNC are harder to get into as freshmen than UA). This especially impacts KKG and PM for UGA, and DDD, KD and XO for NC, because these are also top houses at their home state schools.

So how would you explain APHi’s retention and grade issues over all these years? Do they have more OOS members than ADII, AOII, Theta or DG?

So true. People like to associate low retention rate with a bad sisterhood but the truth is, a lot of OOS girls get here and decide it’s just not for them. Some of the “top” houses are a little better at picking OOS girls who are more likely to stay, but it’s really a toss up.
