I can't imagine how this works in a school that Greek-heavy.

Each house in the past, including last year, is given a number of PNM's they have to release based on their current membership numbers and their numbers from previous recruitments. So if XYZ sorority isn't near chapter total they will release less and vice versa. I think this year Greek Life might actually use the new formulas. For some reason I have this memory that they didn't use the new formulas to their fullest last year. I would also venture to say that there will be around 800-900 PNMs going through recruitment. The most enrolled that I can remember was in fall of 2003 when there was right at 1000 that went through recruitment. That was the year that all the sororities at Ole Miss had huge pledge classes (like in the upper 90s). I have a feeling that numbers might be down a little bit this year since enrollment is down. However, it's too early to tell because they have until September 7, 2007 to register for Recruitment this year. The first event is on August 26 and that is the new round they implemented last year called "Ice Water" Open House Parties. Very informal and short and sweet parties. Then the next set of parties start on Sept. 26, 2007, ending with Bid Day on Sept. 30.
