this year's ffr

update on the estimate?

Last year they had around 800 and this year it's looking like double that or even up to 2,000.
Not sure how that will effect bids but houses can only take so many because girls move in right away and I believe Panhellenic quotas is around 40-45jsh for PC 16

I signed up recently and I'm in the 600's so that might not be tru

Unfortunately, the amount of girls rushing does affect your own personal chances, that's just how it is. Whoever said Panhellenic quota increases in incorrect, most houses physically cannot hold a PC 16 of over 40, and on average I would say they can only hold around 30-35 new members anyway.

18 houses (not including aephi) X 35 = 630

PC 15 had a little over 1,000 PNMs, and yes I have heard that there are more this year than last. Your number when you sign up doesn't have anything to do with how many have signed up, it's based on something else I can't remember...

Say there's going to be 1,250 this year, that gives PNMs a 50% chance of bidding a house.

NOW with all that being said, a good 20% of girls decide rushing isn't for them throughout the week and personally choose to drop.

The other 30% usually don't have their heart in it, didnt give it their all, didn't prepare correctly/ were not ready for what they were in for etcetera. To prepare, obviously just read up a bit about what recruitment week is like, what to wear, each day's schedule, ect... Also create some talking points, your interests/stories/questions. NEVER speak about partying, drinking/smoking, any fraternities experiences / frat guys you know of, just avoid speaking about boys and booze completely. They want to know about you and what your contribution to a true sisterhood would be.

Don't listen to what people are posting on this site. There are so many inaccuracies in this post it's actually scary. Call the Panhellenic office if you're worried and you want answers.

I think it recently hit 700

Does anyone know what the number looks like now?

The number is right under 800, which is 35 less than last year. Itll be fine. Your chances wont change much from last year.

Not at all! Honestly chances of not getting a bit don't differ based on numbers of people signed up. That was never something I was worried about.

The amount of girls rushing last year was over 800 and I heard its a little bit under 800 as of now signed up. But girls can still sign up on the day of the start of recruitment so that number can change.
