- Of the 61 women who continued through the week of formal recruitment, 51 were presented formal invites. All 51 women received a bid at the conclusion of recruitment.
- Sunday’s Bid Day ceremony brought nervous excitement to all the potential new members and the sisters. Alumna from each chapter presented the bid to the potential new member. If this bid was accepted, the alumna escorted the now new member down the stairs to meet her new chapter. AOII now welcomes 17 new members, AXO 9, and ZTA 23.
- Formal Fraternity Rush concluded Saturday morning when all men given bids had made their decisions. Phi Delta Theta has welcomed 8 new members, Kappa Alpha 5, Kappa Sigma 6, and Theta Chi 4.
- Each new member looks forward to their new member process with the enthusiasm to get to know their future brothers and sisters and learn the values of their chapter. For all initiated members, this past week has been an encouraging reminder of reasons they joined their chapter; now they have the opportunity to see their sisterhood and brotherhood continue with these future members.
