University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) 2012 Recruitment

[TNVol]

Of the girls I knew going through at Ole Miss (I wrote recs for a number of them but not all), there were 7 Chi Omegas, three Tri-Deltas and three Delta Gammas. So excited for all of them!

A few pictures of Bid Day in the Daily Mississippian... No bid lists printed in today's edition, but they will be there in a day or two.

Maybe I'm hopelessly outdated, but I don't understand why these gorgeous young women do their best to find the least flattering outfits possible. It's probably simpler to order the bid day shirts all in large sizes, but giant t-shirts with athletic shorts and tube socks...smh. Whatever happened to sundresses?

Those are "the thing" now. Look at what their moms wore, and you have to admit...this is as opposite it as you can get. Which is the point.

My daughter pledged Pi Phi and is beyond excited as she loved them all week!! Although it's not my sorority (which I knew would be tough to get in to being from OOS and not knowing anyone from MS), Pi Phi is exactly where she is meant to be! So I am happy she is happy!! It was certainly FUN to be there as a mom & I'm glad I had a friend to experience it with me! Luckily we laughed more than we cried. Most everything I heard about it was true....a very stressful week as my dd had a paper due Tuesday & 2 big tests on Wednesday. The other 2 girls from my HT pledged KD and Pi Phi. They all got their 1st choice from Pref Party night. Thanks SO MUCH to all the ladies on Greekchat for your information, advice and support!!

Congratulations to your daughter and Pi Phi, CMDelta. Kudos to you for your great attitude!

Thank you so much, Mary Poppins. And congratulations to you and Theta on a great recruitment and super group of new members!

I still can't even wrap my head around the amount of work that the chapters at Ole Miss put into recruitment. The time commitment that the ladies put in is incredible, but it certainly shows in the results. Y'all certainly deserve to put your feet up, take a deep breath and enjoy your success.

I LOVE your signature line, and now more than ever, I see that it is incredibly accurate.

Congrats! My little sister is a senior Pi Phi at Ole Miss, and from her experience that chapter seems to have such a strong sense of sisterhood. I think she'll love it!

I'm so excited to hear all this good Pi Phi news! Way to go, Mississippi Beta!

Congratulations to all the chapters on a successful rush. It's amazing how large rush is now (and I thought it was big when my pledge class had ~75-80 girls several years ago!). I hope that the visiting ADPi's learned a lot and are ready for 2013. Does anyone know which chapters will come to Ole Miss to help with rush next year?

Now with so many girls going through rush from so many different places including out-of-state, I think that the new sororities will survive and thrive at UM. Rush is much bigger, and girls more open to new possibilities, than they were when there were chapters closing in the 80s and 90s.

I'm ready to see the plans for an ADPi house and, in a few years, an Alpha Phi house!

Still no bid lists in the Daily Mississippian yet.... I'll post when they are published.

Does anyone know how many new members each sorority pledged at Ole Miss yet? If so, please share the numbers with the rest of us!
