Sororities see increase in PNMs

By Joseph Singh | October 14, 2010

Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Zach Ingbretsen / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Of the 385 women registered in the sorority rush process, 301 were offered bids on Thursday night, according to Panhellenic Council President Anna Sonstegard '11. The proportion of potential new members receiving bids 78 percent marks an increase from last year's fall rush, in which 68 percent of women received bids, The Dartmouth previously reported. "Last year, we had a high dropout rate," Sonstegard said. The number of women registered to rush this year shows that female interest in the Greek system has increased significantly compared to previous years, she said. Alpha Xi Delta sorority extended bids to 42 women; Kappa Kappa Gamma, 43; Sigma Delta, 42; Kappa Delta Epsilon, 40; Kappa Delta, 25; Alpha Phi, 42; and Delta Delta Delta, 40.
