R U Ready! Ole Miss Recruitment

Can someone enlighten me on the "New Release" system in place by panhellenic at Ole Miss this year?
Did this require the sororities to cut more girls than usual?

This is the second or third year for the new release figures. It requires chapters to release more women up front rather than stringing them along just for the numbers. It makes it a more realistic situation for the PNMs. And the chapters who historically pledge quota, will still do so as they don't need to bring back as many women as perhaps the one who don't always take quota.

How can you take 12 more than quota if all houses make quota? Does Ole Miss have the 5% rule?

With the new release figures, they attempt to place as many women as possible. If a certain quota will place all women, they use that. They can run the names thru the computer several times with different quotas to see which one places the most...and then go with the one that works best for the PNMs overall. I know MS State guarantees a place to any woman attending pref. Ole Miss may as well.

Thanks! This year seemed to go pretty smoothly for all the houses! I'm just happy it's over and all of the PNMs have found their new sisters!
