How competitive is rushing at Mizzou?

Very true. I can only speak for my sorority. But I know the percentage of PNMs who have obtained a rec to my sorority. Unless they are getting recs for the other 14 and skipping us, I can say that there will be many women who will receive bids without having secured a rec in advance.

Again, I do think that all PNMs should have recs. But I am not sure that we don't do a disservice by scaring them to death if they didn't.

If the list were "these are the sororities you absolutely must have recs for" then I would never dream of commenting. But that's not what we do on GC. We say "these are the schools that you absolutely must have recs for."

The reason is that the requirement for a rec is membership selection information that we do not divulge outside of our organizations.

Certainly, and I would never want anyone to feel pressured to divulge MS. But if it's sorority specific and not school specific, why on earth do we have lists of schools where PNMs must have recs? I am pretty sure there are plenty of GCers who think it is school specific, and not just MS.

My point is that I don't think Mizzou should be on the list. As DBB said, you should try to get them, but if you don't, rush anyway. I'm trying really hard not to broadcast actual numbers, but I think some people here would be really surprised by the % of PNMs that have actually turned in a rec, at least for my chapter.
