Long time reader, first time poster. Like I did last year, I'm sure many moms are reading Greekchat to learn more about formal recruitment. I wasn't in a sorority, so finding this site helped me learn about RFM and recruitment in general.
Don't be too upset if your daughter experiences heavy cuts today. My daughter lost more than half the houses on her schedule between Rounds 2 & 3 (can't say that was the best day of her life, but it didn't matter in the end, as she received a bid from her day-one favorite!!!). I'm not a RFM expert, but I always assumed the heaviest cuts happen between rounds 2 & 3. It seems the chapters that aren't as strong in Round 1 become much stronger recruiting chapters after round 2. PNM's have all the same houses to choose from after round 1, but everyone's schedule is very different during Round 2. In the later rounds, mid- to weaker recruiting chapters aren't directly competing with the historically strong recruiting chapters for as many girls. Those strong recruiting chapters have to make a lot of cuts after round 1, and many girls don't have more than one or two (or any) of those chapters left on their invite lists. Girls are getting second looks at these other chapters, and they are are now becoming very popular, as they should be! That's why I like RFM.
It's been said many times before, but ALL the chapters at Mizzou are fantastic, and girls have friends in all of the houses. No matter what chapters your daughter has left on her schedule today, one will soon be her new home! How exciting!
