Does anyone out there know if there will be any Open Bidding going on
in the next few days for girls who did not get a bid?

OleMissGlitter · #2 09-30-2007, 09:00 PM

Get in touch with Greek Life at Ole Miss.
I'll PM you their number.

Did we ever find out quota? I think someone said "around 80"

OleMissGlitter · #5 09-30-2007, 10:16 PM

Quota was 84. AOII got 89. And it seems everyone else got at least 86 or more! So all 9 houses made quota! Yeah!

Apparently quota was set at 84, not 77...I think 77 might have been an early number another advisor gave me...either way all houses made quota so yeah! Sorry!

She was a KD legacy but was cut by them after skits. She and I were both OK with that though. She was more worried about me and my sister than she was about herself. She was a little surprised though. Since we don't have any ties with Ole Miss this was a jump for her. And she landed on her feet.

I'm so happy -- and so relieved.

CONGRATS! So happy to hear about your daughter. She will just lovelovelove our sisterhood!

Roses!

Congratulations, OleMissMama and AOIIBamaMom! I'm sure you both are relieved that recruitment turned out so well for your daughter and daughter's best friend! I love a happy AOII ending!!! Tell your new AOII girls, "Welcome to the AOII family!"

Can someone enlighten me on the "New Release" system in place by panhellenic at Ole Miss this year?
Did this require the sororities to cut more girls than usual?

This is the second or third year for the new release figures. It requires chapters to release more women up front rather than stringing them along just for the numbers. It makes it a more realistic situation for the PNMs. And the chapters who historically pledge quota, will still do so as they don't need to bring back as many women as perhaps the one who don't always take quota.

Benzgirl · #14 09-30-2007, 10:56 PM

How can you take 12 more than quota if all houses make quota? Does Ole Miss have the 5% rule?

With the new release figures, they attempt to place as many women as possible. If a certain quota will place all women, they use that. They can run the names thru the computer several times with different quotas to see which one places the most...and then go with the one that works best for the PNMs overall. I know MS State guarantees a place to any woman attending pref. Ole Miss may as well.
