My daughter pledged last year--there were 94 in her pledge class......

Ole Miss Glitter: is quota set based on how many were invited to pref??? Don't some schools set it based on earlier parties?

Most schools base it on Pref

Okay so apparently quota was 84, but here is what I don't understand. All the sororities got at least 86 or more.

AOII made quota plus for a total of 89! The new release system worked very well for all of the houses! I know all 9 sororities should be very proud!

ETA: I just found out I was mis-informed yesterday at the house. Quota was 84, not 77....so that makes more sense!

Phi Mu got 87 new Phis!!!! We're very excited! I can't wait to hear what everyone else got.

Congratulations to Phi Mu,A O II, and all the groups at Ole Miss!!!!

Just out of curiosity......how many/what percentage of pnms who went to at least one pref party did NOT get bids?

How many dropped out earlier in the week?

I had a long discussion with an Alabama alum yesterday about the differences between Bama, AU and Ole Miss rushes...we were pondering which was the most brutal.....

Congratulations to Nu Beta on such an awesome recruitement! Wow....89 new members, that's the size of a medium chapter! Amazing!

Ole Miss DG
 

Delta Gamma got 88 new little sisters!!! we are so proud of our chapter!

I have not heard what percentage dropped out...

Finally talked to my daughter, XO got an awesome pledge class and she was bragging on the DGs as well!

Gee, I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that!:D
I'd say Ole Miss's is more brutal...fewer sororities to pledge 'em.
I'd still rather see more sororities and fewer pledges per sorority. Don't guess that will ever happen, though.:cool:

Frankly, I think Auburn takes the brutality-cake! Ole Miss is probably next and Alabama last, Bama has more sororities and they guarantee bids if you go to 3 prefs (or if you maximize your options......)

Don't know anything about LSU or GA, they might be worse than Auburn....of course there are so many factors that go into whether or not rush is "brutal," e.g., did the pnm effectively "cut herself" out of rush....that is a whole nother can of worms!

2 New House on Campus?
 

The story in Oxford this weekend is that 2 new sororities are coming to Ole Miss. ADpi is coming back and another new one. They will bid on
the current houses and the smaller white houses on sorority row are being torn down and 2 new houses will be built on this property. The chapters
in the smaller white houses are getting new houses on campus. I was
told this by several different alums. Anyone know the story?????

IMHO, I think that a lot of people are very excited right now and it's getting the best of them. Expansion is a very exciting time and it's kind of fun to speculate. Ole Miss could benefit from an additional chapter or two but there hasn't been an official meeting or vote on expansion yet let alone who might be selected. Recruitment has been on everybody's plate and now that that is out of the way, I am sure that discussions will begin in earnest. I look forward to watching the process!

I agree, aopirose, and to suggest that a certain NPC is coming on campus would be incorrect since there is a process that has to be followed. If they decide to open the campus, all groups have the chance to submit materials and the process goes on from there. No one group just decides they're coming on.
