Northwestern U. Rush numbers drop. Sig Ep does well.
Preliminary numbers released by officials may show a drop in recruitment for Northwestern's Greek community during this year's winter Rush.
Associate Director of Fraternity and Sorority Life Kyle Pendleton declined to comment until the final statistics came out, citing typical changes in numbers resulting from people accepting or rejecting bids late.
At least four fraternities posted preliminary numbers in the single digits, according to an e-mail from the Interfraternity Council. Alpha Epsilon Pi had a preliminary recruitment class of four.
However, some fraternities posted solid recruitment totals -- even if they faced extenuating circumstances.
Sigma Phi Epsilon had a strong class of 32 men accept bids, according to Nick Johnson, a member of Sig Ep who was president during Rush.
"When we go into Rush, we're not really going for a quota," Johnson said. "As long as we get quality guys, we'll let them in."
Nick Johnson seems to get quoted a lot in the NU paper. We wonder if he is dating a reporter?
