The three largest campus sororities welcomed new members this weekend. The pledges join 260 existing sisters, who constitute 15 percent of upperclass and sophomore women. The sororities hold rush in early October, despite the University's continual urging to push the process to the spring, thus giving underclassmen a chance to adjust to campus life.
More sorority members graduated from private high schools than public, and the vast majority of upperclassmen belong to bicker clubs. These numbers are based on analysis of membership lists obtained by The Daily Princetonian and have not been confirmed by sorority presidents.
Kappa Alpha Theta
Total membership: 93 32 seniors, 28 juniors, 33 sophomores. 68 percent attended private schools, 32 percent attended public schools.
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Total membership: 72 24 seniors, 26 juniors, 22 sophomores. 49 percent attended private schools, 51 percent attended public schools.
Pi Beta Phi
Total membership: 95 33 seniors, 26 juniors, 36 sophomores. 73 percent attended private schools, 27 percent attended public schools.
Club membership
No sorority women are currently members of Quadrangle or Charter Clubs. Almost a quarter (24 percent) of upperclass sorority members are in Ivy; 20 percent are in Tiger Inn. Almost 29 percent of upperclass Thetas are in Ivy, 34 percent of Kappas are in Cap and 41 percent of Pi Phis are in TI.
