Mizzou Recruitment Fall 2014 - Page 4

Lovethesand · #1 08-21-2014, 12:44 PM

[QUOTE=NorthernMom;2286980]Well, hoping the remaining 4 she has are welcoming of transfers. I get that they want a girl to be involved for as many years as possible, but I know she planned to be involved all 3 years at Mizzou.

NM, I really know nothing about recruitment other than it is stressful for daughters (and moms secondhand). My own Debbie's made me want to drink religiously. Reading the posts on this forum it seems you don't want to readily identify yourself (PNM) or your daughter. The information you've posted about your daughter may easily identify her to actives who do read this forum.

I wish her the best of luck.

I hope everything works out for her!

It only takes one to get a bid so she just needs to hang in and be open to all opportunities. I know that's sometimes easier said than done but it will work out.

In NorthernMom's absence, some judicious editing on my part to help her daughter maintain anonymity.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't really helpful.

Thanks!

Your heart was in the right place.

NorthernMom · #7 08-21-2014, 01:13 PM

Oh, thank you!! I hadn't even thought of that. Just trying to get a better sense of things to help support her.

There will always be rumors rampant. My advice is to not pay any attention to the rumors and tent talk. ETA: if a PNM does not attend all the parties to which she was invited, she will be released from recruitment.

Release figures typically are NOT made public during ongoing recruitment. There may be some data at the conclusion of recruitment, when all bids have been issued and the dust settles, but no specifics. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong about this statement.

I'm quoting myself. Hello? Did MissouriFan bother to READ what I wrote, which was two posts above hers? Seriously annoyed now.

ETA: AFAIK, release figures for each chapter are never made public.

Thanks for clarifying that AZTheta. It makes sense that they would not release those numbers during recruitment.

After the first round, the ladies had to narrow the field from 1900 to 1100. Tomorrow, it's reduced to just over 400. WOW. That's brutal. Good luck to all the moms with daughters fighting the heat and STRESS in Columbia. The end result will be worth it! It's an incredible greek system!

Either you are making shit up or you are sharing information that you shouldn't be. Stop.

I am pretty sure Missouri uses RFM and therefore your blanket statement of your above number cannot possibly be true. Here is the problem with reporting the rumors you have heard as fact on this site. People will correct you VERY fast.

MissouriFan, I'll be more explicit than my Panhellenic sisters have been. Assuming that Mizzou uses RFM (which I assume they do, along with almost every other campus), then every chapter has DIFFERENT release figures they will abide by according to their relative performance.

So, either these numbers are, as others have said, made up according to your own calculations, OR you are disclosing private chapter information that only applies to one of the chapters at Mizzou. Those familiar with the process would be able to make some assumptions based on the numbers you provided.

Lastly, disclosing the release numbers for a specific chapter can be extremely misleading to PNMs and moms going through the recruitment process right now. RFM works so well because it carefully calculates everything so as to maximize the placement of PNMs into new homes!
