All of the houses have 3 meals a day M-Th and then on Friday there is Breakfast and Lunch. So meals are a great way to meet sisters you might not normally talk to at other events. Also, signing up for classes together is also a great way to get to know your sisters. Having sisterhood events early on in the new member period helps to get new member involved.
The past GPA results from Fall of 2007 have Chi Omega with the most members at 325 then Tri Delta at 321. Tri Delta also had the highest GPA.
Anyway, I think at Ole Miss the 9 NPC sororities are finally learning how to deal with their growing pains.
Also, I've been asked if these high numbers are because groups are "reorganizing" and the answer is no. That is what normal quota is at Ole Miss since Fall of 2000. We lost a sorority in 1999 so that increased quota. If Panhellenic votes to open up for extension I'm sure quota will go down to about 65-75 new members, but that's a whole

I couldn't imagine "meeting" a sister who you share a house with over dinner. Thats so odd to me. My sorority advisor owns a bar on campus that is a big place for greeks, and greeks from Univeristy of Michigan hold events there too. One of my sisters is a bartender there and during one of the events, she happened to be in there to get her paycheck just as the event was ending. One of the UofM girls told her to hurry up and get on the bus so she wasn't left behind. How do you not know who your sisters are?!? maybe im just crazy, but i couldnt be part of a chapter that is that big and still claim that there is sisterhood.
My sorority is pretty small with only 19 members, ( ceiling set by EMU for all sororities is 55 and right now i dont think anyone is that big) but i like that. I know every single sister and most of their families. There isnt much that i dont know about any of my sisters
