Mizzou Recruitment Fall 2014
 
PNMs registered is 1978. I believe another record and maybe a couple hundred more than last year. Is that right Mizzou alums and/or advisors?

I want to say last year was right at 1700 registered, but I am not certain.

ETA: Just checked. Last year 1765 PNMs registered.

Yep. 1978 this year, 1765 last year. A huge jump! I see some very late nights in my near future. :) Very excited to get things started, and wishing all PNMs the best of luck!! Mizzou has an amazing greek system. Keep your minds open and do your best to enjoy the process.

While I am so excited that this many women want to go Greek, it terrifies me at the same time.
This will result in a pledge class of 100!
I don't know what the solution is (more chapters, tougher cuts??) but this is crazy.
Also, why on earth is Mizzou's rush blowing up so much? I mean, I get Alabama, but for Missouri to have the second biggest rush seems a bit odd.

Wow. Good luck to all who are involved!
Those are going to be some late, exhausting nights!

With such a huge group of PNMs, I would expect recs will be even more crucial this year.

ChioLu 07-30-2014 05:25 PM

Wow, Sigma Kappa just came back on campus in 2012.
Last year's quota was 80.
And 200+ more PNM's that 2013.
Mizzou is going to need to expand again soon.

Alpha Xi Delta has never been at Mizzou, but I think the time is ripe! Now housing, housing, who's got the housing?

Well, Mizzou's freshman classes keep getting bigger and bigger, so it only makes sense that there would be more people interested in Greek life.

I would love to see extension! I'm hopeful that we'll have some news on that front within the next 12-18 months at the latest. But we'll see.

If quota is over 100, though, I'll be surprised. A lot of women drop out over the week, and there are an unfortunate amount who don't maximize options and go bidless. But, I am assuming it will be in the 90s, and total will exceed 300.

Extension would be great... but there is a lack of real estate and any org that opened there would have to have the capital to build a new house nearly immediately (like Tri Sigma). Phi Mu and Sigma Kappa were lucky to still "have" their houses, so they could renovate when they re-colonized.
Its just a really expensive campus to get onto... But the numbers are simply TOO big!
15 chapters and nearly 2000 PNMs? INSANITY!

I hope so! Along with UF and Bama ;)
