Bid Day at Ole Miss
 

Today is Bid Day at Ole Miss. Any updates?

Quota was 92 and I am pretty sure all houses got 92 or more. I know AOII got 92! Everyone is super duper excited!

Ninety-two for quota? That is incredible! Congratulations to all of the Ole Miss chapters!

Yes there were about 890 going through and there are nine houses. :)

GET EXCITED!

Congrats to all the chapters at Ole Miss. :)

92 for quota boggles my mind. Note that I come from a campus where total is 80. Any talk of expansion at Ole Miss? Sounds like they can support more than nine NPC sorority chapters.

I think that question gets asked every year........:)

The "barriers to entry" (to use a business term) at Ole Miss are enormous.

not to get off the subject but there is talk to bring 2 new houses on...however, I don't think our Panhellenic has opened up for expansion yet...

I haven't talked to my sister yet, so I'm not sure how many girls Pi Phi got. I was a few off, though, I thought quota was 95! I don't know where I got that number from...

OleMissGlitter, wasn't quota 86ish last year? Quota at Ole Miss just keeps going up every year! Congrats to your AOIIs! Impressive ladies!

I believe last year every house got quota and several got quota plus!

QUOTA IS NINETY TWO???? :eek: :eek:

Thats bigger than my whole chapter!

I know, the thought of quota that high does boggle the mind. What an amazing thing to have so many new sisters in one day! Congrats to everyone on what sounds like a fantastic recruitment.

I knew two girls going through:

They are new members of Chi Omega and Delta Gamma!!!!

My lil sis's little sister (confusing) was going though this year and pledged Phi Mu! Yea!

okay an update, I wrote it down wrong, quota was 91 and AOII got 93....my bad! Anyway, apparently all of the houses DID REALLY WELL!

I just have to get in this! I found greekchat in August when I googled on "release figures." At the time SouthernYankee and BamaDadDz were posting their stories about Alabama's rush--I have a DDD daughter who graduated Bama in 2005 and my younger child had several good friends going through rush there and I got hooked on this site! My younger daughter (I'll call her Baby Bird) was getting ready to go off to Ole Miss and was rushing-- since we are not from Mississippi and don't really know that many people I was a nervous wreck. Add to that surgery in early September that left me housebound for many weeks and you people became my best friends. The good news is that Baby Bird had a wonderful rush at Ole Miss and while she was a DDD legacy through her sister and a KD legacy through me, she did what was best for her and is now a very excited member of Chi Omega! One thing she kept saying throughout rush was that all the chapters have wonderful girls. I was a little undone by the delayed rush thing--after all, that is not how we do it in Alabama--but there are some very definite positives to doing it this way. Anyway, I just want to thank you all for providing me many hours of entertainment these past 6 weeks--and I thought I was the only one who loved rush....:-)
