Thought I'd start a new thread. I'm new to Oxford and want to become acquainted with what goes on here. Feel free to enlighten me as to what usually happens with regard to Ole Miss recruitment. I'm all ears ... or would that be all eyes?
I'm living in Oxford now and am teaching at Ole Miss, I am learning a little bit about what goes on here. I will say that the sorority and fraternity houses on the Ole Miss campus are the most stunningly beautiful and highest quality that I have ever seen anywhere.
Sorority recruitment will occur September 20-27 this year. Classes begin this coming Monday, August 24. What I understand from other faculty members who have been around for awhile is that there used to be an exodus of young ladies transferring away from Ole Miss after rush who did not get the sorority they wanted. Not sure when this went into effect, but the dates are now set so that it will be too late for anyone to withdraw and transfer AND get their tuition money back. They are "stuck" for at least one semester and perhaps they will adjust to the situation.
'Course, now, this is my first semester here, so it will be interesting to see if recruitment disrupts classes. At first I couldn't fathom how they could get all of the parties in, but there are only 8 (or is it 9) Panhellenic sororities here. According the schedule posted at
http://www.dosolemiss.com/page.php?p...page_id=107788, they don't do a round of open parties, which sort of surprised me.
Round 1 (Philanthropy Round): Sept. 23-24th
Round 2 (Skit Round): Sept. 25th
Round 3 (Preference Round): Sept. 26th
BID DAY: Sept. 27th
I count a total of 34 Rho Chis, so if I estimate 25 PNMs assigned to each, there ought to be around 850 girls going through recruitment here. One of them is a close friend of my daughter (who just pledged Tri Delta at Alabama) ... but there is nothing to stop me from sending an additional rec to the Kappa house now that I'm here, is there?
