I think her manager or personal assistant is an Ole Miss graduate.

^^^ sweet! Nicely alphabetized, by last name, right? Ha! (you know I'm being silly)

Waiting for Theta's ad - did I miss it? Does every chapter there publish an ad or is it more of an optional thing? Wish that UofA did it. Oh that's A for ARIZONA for those who don't know. Currently 5-0 on the season, trounced Oregon Ducks last night. YES!

ADPi New Members
 
ADPi's new members are also listed in this issue

AZTheta, the ad welcoming new members is optional and I imagine, pretty costly. You have not missed the Theta ad. I'll post it if and when :)

Ditto! I can't stand the fact that I am so incredibly jealous of everybody fortunate enough to be in Oxford this weekend! So much fun for students and alumni alike! I will be watching from my living room, miles and miles away!

Rush 2015
 
The Football schedule for the 2015 season has been announced. The first open date for Ole Miss is November 14. Please tell me they are considering moving rush back to before school instead of waiting until November 14.

I'm going to guess either the weekend of the Alabama game or the Florida game since those are earlier in the semester and both are away games.

Rush 2015
 
Is there anybody we can talk to to request that rush happen before school starts?

Oh my... isn't that the $64,000 question. :D

Rush used to be prior to the start of school. It was changed to be held after classes had started for many reasons, none of which had to do with what was best for Greeks or the young men & women rushing. The schedule is all about what is best for the UNIVERSITY.

And that is why it will not change.

You are welcome to ask... but just realize that it will almost certainly be wasted effort.

Fraternity rush is delayed, too? I didn't realize that. Do they use the same rationale?

Yes, IFC rush is held at the same time as NPC recruitment. I think they just do it at the same time more for convience. IFC rush is very small, compared to NPC. I seriously doubt the same issues exist with the timing of fraternity rush.

We all know what can happen when a girl does not get the bid that she & her mother think she should get. I don't think I have ever heard about that same thing happening with the men.

Before enrollment increased by 50% deferred was maybe not as onerous as it has become. So many more girls = more parties = long, long nights, especially for the actives. Exhaustion, lack of study time. So what if people disenroll if they don't get what they think they should? They can leave after deferred enrollment too, and do.

It makes a very big difference to the University. Recruitment is purposefully scheduled after the date at which the student can withdraw and receive a refund on tuition.

Some mothers might get all hysterical when their little Polly Perfect doesn't get that Top Tier bid that they think they are entitled to. On the other hand, most of those mothers are not willling to forfeit several thousand dollars in non-refundable tuition.

And as one of the last SEC recruitments, transferring after a disappointing rush to get another bite at the apple means not only losing all that tuition, but also that Polly won't be able to rush until Spring semester.

I am not arguing FOR deferred rush. Just telling you some of the reasons it is what it is and why it is unlikely to change.
