Some girls might have dropped out or transferred since last year, and some girls might not have the time or money to give to a little. It usually works out ok in the end.

That makes sense; I suppose they ask first who might not want a Little.

Grades are also a factor. In my daughters house the sophomores must make grades to be eligible to have a little.

Does anyone know if the live stream will just appear on that page or you have to sign up for an account? I signed up for a free account with livestream.com but I can't find anything yet. The page shows there are 180 viewing...

GoMizzou I'm getting the same thing so it's not just you. I've watched LiveStream events before and it seems like they turned it on right before the event but I'm not sure....anyone else know?

The actives are over the moon about their new members! Very exciting! I look forward to watching live.

[NorthernMom]

My daughter is texting me excited updates. I am getting weepy.

[GoMizzou]

I think you are right, it will just come on when it starts. I thought they might have it going already but probably not.
Today must be as exciting for the actives as the PNM!

230 now watching the blank screen! lol Congrats to everyone on a cool 70 degree bid day! Weather couldn't be more perfect. Wonder if I'll be able to pick out my Senior DD as she welcomes her new little sisters amongst the 3000 girls and spectators....

[Bluedoor]

When I watched the Greek week skit night live stream last year it was a blank screen up until a few seconds into the start of the event, and then it just popped up. Stick with it. It will most likely start streaming right around 10:00.

[MIZparent]

Congratulations to all the PNMs who matched today, and here's hoping those who still want to be part of Greek life might find a new home via COB. If your daughter wants to COB, she should complete the COB registration form with PHA, get to know and make friends with girls in EVERY house, and concentrate on those grades. I'll keep my fingers crossed for each and everyone!

Moms, if your daughter received a bid, post as soon as you know what chapter she is joining... Can't wait to hear!

I know the actives worked VERY hard these past few weeks, and they are so excited to greet their new sisters!

[NorthernMom]

Just came on!

Alabama has a very high percentage of out of state students and that is reflected in the make-up of the girls who go through recruitment - I believe over 65% of the girls are OOS.

OOS girls are less locked in to the perceived tiers and may bring with them different preconceptions about a sorority based on how strong it is at campuses closer to home. I think this factor has a lot to do with how high the placement rate is at Alabama.

The Pi Chi reveal was cute
