The two weeks before Recruitment you need to be as far ahead in your classes as you can possibly get. You procrastinators out there? Better get the lead out and put the pedal to the metal early.
Women in recruitment are expected to miss a party rather than miss a class. Missing a class means dropping out of Recruitment. Panhellenic will send the PNMs regrets to the Chapters that have the early parties. Will the absent PNM get cut? It's a definite possibility. If I were a PNM and had enough classes to drop one or two first semester I would drop the afternoon classes even though I am more of a night owl than a morning lark. For that matter all the Chapters have Collegians missing parties for classes too, so that can be stressful if a Collegian is an officer or has a major role in that party round.

I know I'm still perseverating on this -- but I just can't understand why this doesn't change. Seems to me that the Greek system is a draw for Ole Miss -- yet the powers that be make the process unnecessarily difficult on their new freshmen and on the chapter actives.
Just drives me crazy. And I don't even have a daughter there.
