As winter rush draws to a close, leaders of Greek houses are seeing winter pledge classes that are historically large for sororities, but relatively unchanged for fraternities with all women rushees and the vast majority of men who rushed receiving bids at Greek houses.
Tasha Francis '02, president of the Panhellenic Council, said that 37 women signed up to rush this winter.
According to Francis, two dropped out during the rush process; all of the remaining 35 women were given bids.
Epsilon Kappa Theta Sorority has given five bids, Kappa Delta Epsilon Sorority gave five, Delta Delta Delta Sorority accepted seven, Alpha Xi Delta Sorority six, Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority accepted six and Sigma Delta Sorority accepted six, Francis said.
Leo Pollock, the current president of Interfraternity Council, said that many fraternities have not yet submitted numbers regarding the size of their pledge classes to the IFC rush chair, adding that some fraternities are still holding rush.
Pollock said that he expects that more than 95% of those rushing fraternities this winter will receive bids, as has been the case in previous years.
Officers from Gamma Delta Chi fraternity and Psi Upsilon fraternity indicated that their pledge classes are similar in size to those taken during recent past winter terms.
According to fraternity president Michael Weir, Gamma Delt has one new pledge, the maximum number it may accept during winter term.
