It all starts tonight. No Ole Miss daughters, but I do have a freshman son (sorry to post in the wrong place). It will be interesting to see how it all plays out since we are used to a completely different style of fraternity recruitment. Kind of like this:
"Wanna beer?"
"Sure."
"Wanna join our house?"
"Sure, why not?"
Mr. NUBlue&Blue didn't believe me about the rounds, invitations, the what to wear page, etc. until I made him read the IFC website. He says he's met every chapter's rush chairman and has been invited to a party every single night since he got to school two months ago....so we'll see how it goes. It's different than what we've experienced, that's for sure. After all these years of hand holding my friends with their daughters going through the big SEC recruitments, I'll admit I feel a tad anxious. However, my son could sell an igloo to an eskimo (or whatever they're calling themselves these days), so I'm optimistic he'll find the right place. He has a favorite, so the whole "keep an open mind" thing is going in one ear and out the other.

I know three guys going through fraternity recruitment at Ole Miss this fall. Can't wait to hear the results. All three are freshmen from out-of-state.

I don't know the exact numbers for fraternity recruitment but I heard their numbers were going to be pretty big this year. I know the guys can still register for fraternity recruitment up until like Friday (9/23). I guess they let them take their time or something!! LOL!

It seems like recruitment numbers are higher everywhere this year, for fraternities and sororities both. The Class of 2011 has gone Greek! My oldest son is a freshman (and a new Sig Ep!  I love saying it every chance I get) and so many people from his high school days have pledged this fall. I believe my community as a whole has seem more guys among the '11 graduates pursue fraternity life than any other class in quite a few years.
Anyway, one of the guys I know at Ole Miss is the son of a good friend. She's a little nervous about the out-of-state factor, but like all moms, hoping and praying for the best. All three are good guys.

I will be visiting Ole Miss for the first time for recruitment (although I have been on campus for several visits...it is beautiful!) . Hopefully I will be able to meet Ole Miss Glitter!
Good luck to everyone.
