University of Missouri Recruitment 2012
My daughter will be rushing at Mizzou this fall as an incoming freshman. All PNMs move in on August 12th, with recruitment starting the 13th. Do any other GC ladies have daughters going through Mizzou rush this fall?
The schedule goes as follows: Monday & Tuesday - Open House Days Wednesday - Sisterhood Day Thursday - Philanthropy Day Friday - Preference Saturday - Bid Day The 14 chapters at Mizzou are: Alpha Chi Omega Alpha Delta Pi Alpha Phi Chi Omega Delta Delta Delta Delta Gamma Gamma Phi Beta Kappa Alpha Theta Kappa Delta Kappa Kappa Gamma Phi Mu Pi Beta Phi Sigma Sigma Sigma Zeta Tau Alpha I thought I would use code names for the chapters based on designers, as I've lately been very into fashion. Of course, these are listed in a different order than the list above. Marc Jacobs Chanel Dolce & Gabbana Stella McCartney Gucci Steve Madden Prada Alexander McQueen Calvin Klein Vera Wang Kate Spade Betsey Johnson Rachel Zoe Ralph Lauren Sigma Kappa will also be colonizing this fall at Mizzou. Does anyone have any insight into if they will be participating in formal recruitment or how this will work? My daughter is not a legacy to any chapter - in fact, she is the first in our family to try and "go Greek!". My daughter is well aware that cuts will be heavy and that she should keep an open mind and not listen to any stereotypes. I am cautiously optimistic that if she keeps an open mind, she will find her home. That's all for now! I will continue to update everyone once recruitment starts. I'd love for anyone else to join in on the discussion! |
YAY! Excited to see a Mizzou thread! I'm an incoming freshman that will be rushing.
I'm rooting for Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, and Kate Spade. |
Go Vera Wang!
|
Don't forget, Sigma Kappa will be establishing a new colony at Mizzou this fall.

I have a daughter who will be going through recruitment at Iowa, but my son will be a junior at Mizzou and is in a frat. His girlfriend is also in a sorority. Looking forward to your posts. I know that it is a very busy and emotional week. Best of luck to your daughter!
|
Always had a love for Steve Madden and Marc Jacobs!

I love this! I am also going through recruitment at Mizzou and am thinking of posting my story! Best of luck to your daughter :)

The internet is not as anonymous as people think. Perhaps err on the side of caution and post your daughter's story or your own AFTER recruitment has ended.

Also - thank you everyone for the good wishes. I will be posting my daughter's recruitment story after the week is over, just to make sure she stays anonymous :) |
Yay! A Mizzou story! Looking forward to it!
|
I did a rec for a great girl going through recruitment at Mizzou -- maybe your daughter? We "met" here on Greek Chat. Very excited to see where she finds her home!
|
Good luck to all the PNMs at Mizzou!
Still getting used to thinking about Mizzou and SEC at the same time. I guess football season will fix that! |
I'm so looking forward to this story!
|
I have a daughter going through Mizzou rush this year too! Does anyone know anything about the three t-shirts they will be wearing? Or is it supposed to be a secret?
|
Go Marc Jacobs!
|
Can't wait to read your updates! My daughter went through recruitment at MU last year. She moved into her sorority house last weekend, and they have worked all week to prepare for the 1600+ pnm's. Good luck to her! Keep us posted on her journey!
|
To Mizmama, the shirts are identical except colors. There's no big secret about them. They just wear them on designated days.
|
My daughter is going through rush at Mizzou as well!!! Do you know what time they break for lunch and then what time they are finished tonight? I want to talk to my daughter, however I do not want to call or text her if she is still visiting the houses.
|
How is rush going for the all the Mizzou moms out there? The first round of cuts were made this morning. Does anyone know if these were basically done for grades? My daughter is starting to get nervous, today is a long day!! At this point, what are cuts based on?
|
No, they weren't just grade cuts today. My daughter got cut by 2 sororities. Her grades are over 4.0.

Grade cuts happen at round one, but that is by no means the only reason a girl would get cut. There wouldn't be nearly enough girls to eliminate on that criterion alone. With RFM working correctly, the chapters have to make significant cuts at each stage of the process. Plus, that would mean every chapter would be pulling from the same list of girls, since the variation on grade requirements isn't that different between chapters.

The cuts tomorrow and Friday will be more severe. It's getting down to the nitty gritty. It's just so competitive at Mizzou, with so many awesome girls going through recruitment. Most houses keep 85-100 or so new members. They started with a pool of 1680 PNMs. Think about that!
|
Hey Mizzou moms - any word on how prefs are going?
|
Any updates on Bid Day?!
|
Just heard that my daughter's good friend is a beautiful new Theta at Mizzou!!! So happy for her - her Mom said it was her #1 all week.
Also heard that more than 300 girls dropped out yesterday - not sure whether or not that's true. |
Alpha Phi 90
|
|
|
Zeta Tau Alpha - 87 new members at Mizzou!
|
I'm excited to hear your story about your daughter's rush week!! How did it go for her?
|
I had a Mizzou girl on my rec crew this year -- and she got her first choice, making her a very happy new member of ADII!
|
I keep checking back here for updates! I want a Mizzou story! :)
