We had the same problem here at Ole Miss, believe it or not. Anyway, so we started "Regret With Interest." This is where suppose a PNM is asked back to all nine houses. Well, she cannot attend all 9 houses for second round of rush. Therefore she regrets with interest to three houses. This way if she cut by the other 6 second round, the three regret with interest sororities can choose to invite her back. This worked well at Ole Miss for the first time because so many PNM come in thinking they are going to join "AZZ" sorority. They don't understand it is a numbers game and a game with who knows who. Therefore, when they regret with interest they aren't hurting themselves if they aren't asked back to their six. It is like insurance for the PNMs and the sororities. This year most sororities had many Regret With Interests and therefore this maximizes their chance of joining a sorority and it allows some sororities to compete with girls who think they are going to get into a certain sorority but don't because of the competition. Please PM me and I can give you our Greek Life Representatives name here at Ole Miss so you can email him. I know he went to Southern Miss in Hattiesburg this year to help them with Regret with Interest where it was a success as well.
