6 Lyre Notes Alpha Nu Welcomes 74 New Members on Bid Day I nspired by Neil Diamond's classic hit song, "Sweet Caroline," and the soft hues of summer, Alpha Nu welcomed 74 new members on Saturday, August 17, with the theme "Sweet Alpha ChiāBid Day Never Seemed So Good." The new member class is composed of women from 14 states. The largest contingent (42) is from Missouri, followed by Illinois. The new member class is well-rounded with scholars, athletes, artists, dancers and participants in nearly every type of high school activity and awards program. The median high school GPA of the new class is 3.64 and the average of their ACT scores is 26. Of the 74 new members, 33 have declared a health-related major, 14 are journalism or pre- journalism and 10 are pursuing business. About 17 percent more young women registered for recruitment in 2019 than in 2018, which is reflective of Mizzou's increased enrollment for 2019. These numbers are counter to the national trends of lower birth rates and fewer young women choosing to participate in sorority recruitment nationwide. Missouri's Greek life continues to be robust and all chapters took quota. Many thanks to the chapter's advisors and the visitor from Alpha Chi National Headquarters who assisted the chapter during recruitment.
