I think expansion to such a traditional campus would be difficult.

I swear I posted this earlier, but Eli and Peyton's mother was a Delta Gamma at Ole Miss....weird I swear I posted this.

thank you olemissglitter! everytime i watch ole miss play football on tv one of the commentators mentions that the mannings are at the football game and go into archie's football career and mention that mrs. manning was the homecoming queen and a sorority member, but they never mention which sorority she is a member of.

OH and I forget to post that the little girl (well now she's a young lady) that I grew up babysitting went Kappa! Her older sister is a Kappa at UTAustin! I'm super excited for her!

This is the first I've heard of Tri delt having to snap. I just heard that another house did and they were the only one.

I know here at Kent, 2nd day is philanthropy AND financial day. Every chapter is required to hand out and explain a sheet detailing all the financial obligations of being in the sorority. Maybe the larger Greek schools should try this too.

A very good idea...

[OleMissGlitter]

That is a good idea. I know that all 9 sororities at Ole Miss have a couple a members a year who just don't understand the financial obligations and responsibilities. It is possible to have a job and pay for your sorority dues but you probably won't be able to attend that many functions. I think it is wise if you do need financial help paying dues to work very hard during the summer and save up your money. However, all of the sororities at Ole Miss are all pretty strong financially.

I know at WGa, there is a range listed in the PNM info guide and during recruitment, it is actually posted on the wall. A member willl show it to the pnm.

I haven't heard yet but probably about the same as last year, like 800-900. It might go down though because Panhellenic has passed some new rules regarding grade requirements so that could affect lots of girls going through recruitment. I think they have posted the rules on the website:
http://www.olemiss.edu/greeks/PHC/

I think enrollement is up a little bit again this year but one is never sure how that will affect the numebr of women going through recruitment.

Recruitment dates are:
Oct 8-Oct 15, 2006

I noticed this rule while browsing through the PHC site

From Ole Miss PHC rules:

8. Potential New Members should attend all academic classes, lab, and study groups. A POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER MAY NOT MISS AN ACADEMIC CLASS OR LAB FOR THE PURPOSE OF ATTENDING A RECRUITMENT-RELATED FUNCTION. IF SHE DOES, SHE WILL BE RELEASED FROM FORMAL RECRUITMENT AND BE INELIGABLE TO SIGN A BID CARD UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SEMESETER. If there is a conflict between Recruitment activities and academic requirements, the Potential New Member should contact the Panhellenic Council so that an excuse may be sent to the sororities.

Is this a new rule? Is it something NPC is enforcing nationally?

I'm just asking because I've never actually SEEN this written out in our recruitment rules. I knew the girls were excused from parties when they had class, but nothing was ever put in writing that said they couldn't receive a bid if they skipped. I'm curious as to how this would be enforced.

[PenguinTrax]

I should think that PNMs could submit their class schedules with their recruitment applications. That way PHC would know, up front, who would miss which set of recruitment events, etc.

But, hey, why should anything be that organized.
