I have not had this come up in regards to sororities or while advising but I have had to sit down and explain to a graduate student I worked with that not showing up to court for her multiple moving violations would get her convicted in absentia and that would be a felony in that state. (It would not have been in her home state.) A felony conviction would mean ineligible for her stipend and to enroll on that campus. She HAD to pay that fine.
I can totally see where something like this might come out as a last minute WTH? during recruitment. (ineligible to enroll = ineligible to initiate.)

I realize that the legacy policy has changed considerably but I know some sororities (and some schools) consider legacies much more seriously than others do. It probably has to do with how competitive the recruitment is at that school and how many legacies are going through for that chapter. So I can only imagine where Ole Miss falls on that scale! What I hate to hear from moms or other alumnae is that a girl gets cut by other sororities because she is a legacy to another. I know that's a HUGE assumption because her legacy may not think she is a fit for them or maybe she prefers another house than her legacy. Plus no one can know really why she was released and they use her being a legacy to another chapter as a reason. I can see where it can work against a PNM. My dd is from OOS going through at Ole Miss this week and apparently BOTH her legacies are heavily desired by in state girls. I just pray that it won't hurt her either way.

Just a visual idea of the numbers of PNMs and sorority members at Ole Miss. This is from this year's C.A.R.E. Walk.
C.A.R.E. Walk is Ole Miss Panhellenic's annual philanthropy benefiting breast cancer research.

I bet she misunderstood or is misremembering what actually happened. Why would panhellenic care at all about where you place a legacy on your bid list? All they have to care about is the number of girls you put on that list. And if they really did tell a chapter that, I'd be on the horn with your headquarters IMMEDIATELY because there's someone in panhel who has way WAY overstepped her bounds. I mean, for all we know, a sorority may ALWAYS rank blonds over brunettes and legacy status doesn't trump that. Or lefties are always more desired. And it's not our place to tell them that's retarded.

Any news (of the vague-ish variety, anyway) from Ole Miss recruitment? I think today is pref.
I'm sure those involved don't want to post anything too specific, but I was just wondering.

Yes, today is Pref. Houses are having 5 parties. I believe that the PNMs can go to a max of 3 chapters. Bid Day is tomorrow.

Pref parties start at 4pm CST, so I would think invitations would be opened between 3 and 3:30. PNMs are usually assembling on the lawn of their first house about half an hour before parties start.
Good luck everyone!
Bid Day at 3pm tomorow.

I know several girls participating in recruitment this week at Ole Miss. I can hardly wait to see where they land! Hope they are enjoying the week. It can be so stressful!

I met some absolutely awesome ADPi national officers, local volunteers, and a senior chapter consultant who were on campus observing recruitment at Ole Miss. They were delightful! They had also visited Miss State for recruitment and are laying the way for 2 colonizations in 2013 in our state...don't think it has ever been done before. I hope that Phi Mu will take the lead in hosting our fellow Magnolia Madams as they establish successful colonies in our state!
Just my opinion
