Ole Miss Recruitment

MaryPoppins · #1 10-01-2011, 09:10 AM

@80sAST - That's what I heard. I am not working in Recruitment this year. Did not come from any person in official authority. However, the number of registered PNM's this year was about 36% above last year and above the trend from past years. Maybe that made for a volatile year?

I'm so excited - my beloved niece is going through Ole Miss recruitment. So far, so good, but wondering what this afternoon will bring. My sister-in-law is hoping, hoping things will work out with her legacy sorority.

I'm sorry, but I would prefer not to give any details live.

When do they do the first round of cuts due to grades?? Sounds like alot of girls were cut BEFORE they even attended the first skit round at Ole Miss. Is this true?

It depends on the sorority, since that is part of membership selection which is private. Some might release more after philanthropy and some might release more after skit.

Delta Gamma Banner

Can I be an over-critical snob and say the DG banner is not all that impressive? Between the ill-advised AOPi-ish design of the 2011, the un-even/sloppy lettering all the way around, and the vaguely negative connotations of the slogan itself (I know it's an anchor thing but holding something or someone down isn't necessarily an accomplishment), it strikes me as below average (probably more so compared to the outstanding DDD design, which while not 100% original is very well done). I'm sure they're a great group, though - perhaps next year just a bit more effort there? Yikes, now I feel all catty...

I work with women this age. Holding it down is not a negative thing. Trust me, in the context/place/time in which it's being used, the connotations are not negative. It roughly translates to having it under control.

No you sound a little bit like a creeper.

So it could potentially be a "grade cut" prior to skit round? Are they doing any snap bids this year??

We don't know for sure since all membership selection is private and secret. No one can tell you for sure.

To quote Titchou:
"Snap bids are only given out on Bid Day by any groups who have not pledged to quota.

After Bid Day, if a group has slots open, it is called COB or COR, continuous open bidding or recruitment. You would need to ask your Greek Life office if any groups are participating in COB/COR and what you need to do to let them know you are available and interested."
