DeltaBaby is right.

If you pursue this, be very, very open to any house that invites you back. This rush is freshman heavy. Very few upperclassmen get their 1st choice (and by 1st choice, I mean the house who is their 1st choice at round 1). So, while not impossible, it will be very tough. Just be prepared.

But, nothing ventured, nothing gained! Keep us posted on your experience. We will be rooting for you!

Recruitment Schedule has been amended:

Due to high registration numbers, Philanthropy Days have been extended an extra day to include Tuesday the 18th through Thursday the 20th of September.

WOW!! How many girls registered so far?

No number for registered pnms was quoted to me, but I'm told we have been instructed to plan for a new member class of 150.

Whoa.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there going to be at least one new colony this year, too?

I believe they are open for expansion, but have not chosen the organization yet.

ETA. Per Irishpipes thread: Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Delta Pi, Alpha Phi, Delta Zeta are presenting

WCsweet<3 and Irishpipes are correct. Presentations later this month.

We are at Ole Miss right now, getting my daughter settled in and going through orientation. (It's so exciting!!) She mentioned that there is a Panhellenic event on Sunday afternoon. I thought that she said that one of reasons for the event was to assist some of the PNM's who still needed to find recs. (I was kind of sleep deprived when she was talking about it, so I may be mistaken.)

We have her Panhellenic portion of orientation tomorrow, so if they happen to mention any numbers, I'll pass them on. But, if I'm not mistaken, they can still register until August 27th (is that the correct date, Mary Poppins?)...so numbers could still go up.

Your right, registration closes at Noon on the 27th of August. There is an Ice-Cream Social for Potential New Members to meet with the Oxford Area NPC Alumnae. It's Sunday, August 19 at 1:00 pm at The Powerhouse on University Avenue.

Oxford Area NPC invites all the ladies going through Ole Miss recruitment to attend a brief social event to help find sorority alumnae recommendations, get a better understanding of what Greek life means and the benefits of going Greek.

FYI, I mentioned the new colony/colonies for those who may be movers and shakers, but don't get the bid of their choice. Ole Miss is a tough Recruitment!

I just talked to the Panhellenic advisor. She said that as of this morning, they have exactly 1200 signed up she said they expect about another 30-40 to sign up before Aug 27th.

She also said that Delta Zeta presents on Tuesday!! I wish I could stay two more days o be here for it, but I fly out Sunday morning. :-(. AND leave my oldest baby behind.

Ole Miss is excited about the presentations and can't wait for next year!

Presentations are complete!
August 20: ADPii
August 21: DZ
August 22: Alpha Phi
August 23: AGD

I don't suppose they have a deadline for when their decision will be made.
