Praise the Lord!!

Rush is over and my D is an "AOII til I Die". She is so happy. She called right after she rec'd her bid and was crying with happiness. The squeals and screeches in the background were crazy.

She was a KD legacy but was cut by them after skits. She and I were both OK with that though. She was more worried about me and my sister than she was about herself. She was a little surprised though. Since we don't have any ties with Ole Miss this was a jump for her. And she landed on her feet.

I'm so happy -- and so relieved.

Congratulations to your daughter and AOPi. Now mom, time for you to get some rest too! :)

Her best friend who is at the University of Mississippi just received a bit for AOII!!! It was her FAV from Day one. She said that rush at Ole Miss was VERY INTENSE!! Anyway--both girls are thrilled and now in addition to being best friends they are sisters for life!! CONGRATS AGAIN!! She's a rose, she's a pearl, she's an AOII girl.

YEAH! I can't wait to meet her! I just got home from the house and our new member class is gorgeous! I'm so proud of my chapter! Yeah!

Also, 4 girls I wrote recs for went AOII!

Congratulations to both you and your daughter.... and I second the go get some rest comment from Benzgirl. Seems like you have raised a very well rounded daughter again congrats

girls who did not get bids

Does anyone out there know if there will be any Open Bidding going on
in the next few days for girls who did not get a bid?

Get in touch with Greek Life at Ole Miss.
I'll PM you their number.

Can someone enlighten me on the "New Release" system in place by panhellenic at Ole Miss this year?
Did this require the sororities to cut more girls than usual?

Congrats to all of your daughters. Please post bid day pictures when you have them!

Did we ever find out quota? I think someone said "around 80"

Quota was 84. AOII got 89. And it seems everyone else got at least 86 or more! So all 9 houses made quota! Yeah!

Apparently quota was set at 84, not 77...I think 77 might have been an early number another advisor gave me...either way all houses made quota so yeah! Sorry!

This is the second or third year for the new release figures. It requires chapters to release more women up front rather than stringing them along just for the numbers. It makes it a more realistic situation for the PNMs. And the chapters who historically pledge quota, will still do so as they don't need to bring back as many women as perhaps the one who don't always take quota.

How can you take 12 more than quota if all houses make quota? Does Ole Miss have the 5% rule?

yay for more AOII's!!!
