University of Oklahoma Thread!
Hey y'all! I do see OU information in threads, but nearly as much as SEC schools and UT. Lets use this thread to post helpful relevant information for recruitment at OU! Super excited for rush starting on Aug 7! I'm a PNM (hope its ok that I start this) and I have questions about pref dresses. Is it better to have black like in the rush manual or a colored dress? How dressy?

Oh man, I'm an Okie native but never went to school in state... I'm just here to lurk. I'm not sure we have any OU actives on the board, actually.

Hithere112, I attended OSU, but my dad went to OU and i had several friends at OU in the greek system. They loved it! Best of luck to you! Can't wait to hear about your adventures. Take great notes and post after ...not during.

I don't know any thing about OU. I think your question is valid on the pref dress. It seems to be one that is asked often and even I asked it on this board. There are 2 schools of thought on the color. Stay away from black or white and or don't. To answer how dressy I would want to know what time of day Pref is and what they say in the manual. Cocktail dress attire and afternoon wedding are 2 completely different looks.

The manual that is online for OU greekmlife does not show black for pref for the PNMs..it shows two short dresses, both colored. Pref begins at 7 pm, and they say no sequins or beads...suit, dress, skirt/blouse.

Yeah for OU! My husband and I did graduate school at OU, and we love Norman!
Just for info, here is the link where you can find the 2013 manual: http://www.ou.edu/content/studentlif...enic/join.html.
Good luck!

yes .. quota is (with one or two exceptions) based on the number of women who sign after preference. So if 900 sign cards with 11 chapters quota would be around 81 .. might be a little lower with "extra" women placed as quota additions. But everyone who plays by the rules and attends all parties and lists all chapters attended for preference will be extended a bid.

My daughter is a freshman PNM and also had some tough cuts. She was only invited back to 4 houses out of 8, but did get asked back to her top two. She did not seem too upset, maybe a little anxious but overall calm. Fingers crossed for a good day for all the girls!

I recieved 1 house back today and decided to withdrawl. I know I know, how terrible of me. But I know what I want and didnt want to take away the chance from someone who did love that house. I was so hopeful after round 2, I had great convos (not exaggerating) and loved the ones I got cut from. I am a lot less sad then I thought I would be, and want to wish other PNMS good luck! Hopefully I can get involved in other orgs on campus.

I am sorry that things didn't work out for you. Definitely get involved with other fun activities on campus-at OU there have to be tons of choices!
