University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment 2013

[Titchou]

I'm with you, Carnation. You have to already determine that first release list with 2100 PNMs. You just can't function if you don't already have some names in one column or the other.

Thanks, Mary Poppins for the time estimate - we were just wondering start times due to class schedules. It will be fine, I know. Y'all try Oxford Grillhouse on the Square if you have time - and, their cheesesticks (I know, I know, that sounds like a Chilis appetizer) are amazing.

If you aren't sitting in the room you don't know what is going on. Period. And she didn't say it was just grades, she also said "QR cuts." Grades may be black and white, reputation not so much if you've never met the person. I stand by my statement that she needs to STFU.

She's fine. It's a big school thing.

Actually, 33girl, I have sat in the room - many times. I've been a membership adviser (our name for recruitment adviser), the UAB PH Adviser, a chapter PH adviser, an Advisory Board Chairman (main chapter adviser), a Collegiate Recruitment Consultant, a Regional Recruitment consultant, etc, etc, etc. If you don't already have that list going, you are doing yourself and the chapter a disservice.

I don't mean you, I mean the poster I responded to. She gave no indication that she is a volunteer of any sort, it sounded more like rumor and innuendo.

Not only that, I've never heard you say you know what is going on in your daughter's sorority (of which you are not a member).

Sorry if I seem like a dog with a bone on this one, I just think that this is one more thing to make PNMs nervous and upset.

I feel no obligation to give you my recruitment involvement resume, but rest assured I have been in the room recently. My daughter and I are fortunate enough to be members of the same GLO and chapter.

I believe knowledge is power, and PNM's come here for advice and knowledge. If we don't give them honest, accurate information, they will be ill-prepared, which could lead to a bad impression of the Greek community in general.

As an oos pnm, knowing that some houses make early cuts based on grades alone, actually makes me feel better because I have a solid GPA, so thank you!
