Our Bid Day is going on downstairs but I had to run up to let y'all know that Phi Mu got 86 brand new Phis!!!!

Does Ole Miss put out Bid lists? I have a former student that was rushing and I would love to know where she ended up?

AOII got 87 new members! Yeah! I haven't heard how anyone else did. Ole Miss does not publish a list of where everyone pledged. But PM me the name and I can try to find out for you. The sororities will publish their new members name in the student paper over the next few weeks though.

Yeah! Congrats to all.

I am not great at posting pics but here are some from my webshots account.

The Daily Mississipian publishes some of the names, if I remember right. And, congrats to all chapters. Ole Miss Glitter, do you know if everyone made quota?

Thanks for the pics OMG. My niece is one of your new pledges!

Each chapter publishes their lists in the DM a few days after bid day (or whenever they buy the ad). So they are sporadic over the next few weeks. I am not sure if everyone made quota, but I would think with the new RFM everyone would make quota.

congrats!
 

congrats to all the chapters! I can't believe that water situation! That is added stress on an already stressful week! At Clemson my senior year, the power went out late the night before round one in the dorm that housed KD and two other sororities. I remember getting phone calls begging sisters who lived away from the hall to house those girls for the rest of the night so their alarms would go off. That, and so they would have electricity to get ready in the morning!! It was a little bit of a nightmare but it all worked out ok.

Thanks for the pictures OMG. My daughter is one of your new pledges! She is so excited and we are all very happy for her.

Congrats to both of them!

Thank you. HootinAuntie and HouseDivided are talking about the same girl. The whole family is excited.

Some Bid Day pictures, including the digging in front of the AOPi house when they lost water.

Not to sound stupid or anything, but how large are your chapters? 86 new members? OMG, i would cry and probably pee my pants at the same time!

On my campus we have ceiling at 75, so no sorority can have more than 75 girls (initiated and pledging combined), unless it's from Formal Recruitment in the fall...

And our quota was 28 last year, which is the highest it has ever been...

Just wondering... Thanks :-)

Ole Miss are over 200 per chapter. I think the largest in Ohio are around 150 at Miami. Ohio State cap is 100.

In the For What it's Worth category, don't GPA seem low for Greeks?

Excellent! What a supportive family :)

Numbers at Ole Miss
 

Ole Miss Glitter,
It has been posted that 84 was quota at Ole Miss. There are nine NPC chapters on campus. Phi Mu has 86 and AOPi has 87 new members. Could you please post numbers for the other seven groups, if possible?
Thank you.

I actually haven't heard how anyone else did. I'm sure everyone made quota though.

Ole Miss Phi Mu might know how the houses on her street did...

I haven't heard exact numbers yet either but I'm sure that everyone made quota. Don't quote me on this because I'm not sure but it seemed like a very tough rush this year and a lot of girls were released. I heard that from a lot of girls at pref that several of their friends were not invited back or completely dropped out. Like I said I'm not 100% sure but that is what I have heard, so if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

KKG has 87 new pledges!! My daughter is proudly one of them. Ole Miss rush is competitive and serious business, but about 12-15 girls from our city, in a border-state to the west got great bids! Maybe not being from Mississippi isn't as "bad" as it used to be for having a successful rush! That, to me, is a great thought!

Congrats to your daughter on Kappa!

Excuuuuuuuse me, but did you have permission in advance to miss part of the bid day festivities, or did you decide that letting GCers know was worth risking a fine or a talking-to? ;)

Congratulations and have a blast!

DD, who didn't rush but had lots of friends who did, said cuts were bad after 1st round but only two of her friends were released and both were (supposedly) grade related. We're all out of staters and one girl got her recs in after water parties. Ole Miss heresy! 2 are Pi Phi, 2 are Kappa, one is AOPi, 2 are KD and one is Chi O. Everyone feels lucky and exhausted.

I have to change our number of new girls. Phi Mu now has 89 wonderful Phis! We gave bids to three girls last night. What had happened was that these three suicided and the computer thought that Phi Mu was their second choice, so therefore they weren't placed. After we found out what had happened, we wanted to give these girls bids still, so our chapter advisor was on the phone with nationals all day trying to get them to approve the extra girls. Luckily, nationals did and we had three new girls running to their new home!

That's awesome! I bet they are excited to be a new member at Phi Mu!

just found out from a co-worker that her step-daughter is a new member of kappa delta at ole miss. that is especially nice because the girls mom is also a kd!

My baby sister is going thru rush at Ole Miss next year and I was curious if all the houses did make quota? Forgive me if this is posted somewhere else! (From what I have seen Phi Mu, KKG and Pi Phi have made quota).

I believe all but one made quota. All of the chapters at Ole Miss are well-respected, strong chapters.

DG made quota as well. DD says they are all cute, sweet and wonderful. I am hoping they will post pictures on their website soon.

I think there is one sorority with their new members listed today in the DM...

It's fun to see the lists in the DM!
I've also been enjoying the "This Greek" column - last week it told about Rush each day and now they are covering some of the things they'll be doing this fall.

Yes the column on Greeks has been great this year!

I'm glad for all of them! Remember, I get to write the Pi Phi rec if Esther Jr. rushes!

I don't think anyone has posted this yet, short video about Bid Day!

PS the DM has Kappa's and AOII's new member lists but they haven't updated their website yet!

Awww. You've got a deal.

The DM Online has Pi Phi listed today. 86 new pledges!

From an out of state 2010 freshman who wants to rush at Ole Miss....
how much consideration is given to the high school transcript I will be providing during recruitment? Like I'm determined to keep my 4.1 GPA up throughout my senior year and not give in to senioritis in the spring.
