Just to compared numbers, I was told by the office of Greek Life that 1201 were registered for 2011 recruitment. So that's an increase of 82 girls. I imagine quite a few of the ones released were because of being grade risks. They were allowed to register and go through recruitment regardless of their high school GPA but were told numerous times that if they had below a 3.0, they could be released. My daughter's roommate was released because she had a 2.8. However, another girl we know was released because of her grades after philanthropy round but then offered a snap bid on bid day.

Just to clarify, they think they were released because of grades but one can only assume that was the reason.

Several Chapters released rude PNMs. Ignoring your hostess, treating her badly, or informing her that you have already secured a bid elsewhere will get you released in a hurry.

Speaking of rude PNMs, a few weeks ago there was a post about a PNM and her rude (off the wall) roomate. I think she was attending Ole Miss. The thread has since been deleted. Does anyone know what happened?

She said her campus had 8 chapters and Ole Miss has 9, someone suggested to me that it might have been Samford U. in Alabama. Would adore to know how that instance turned out.

Samford has 5 chapters, so it probably wasn't Samford.
I wish she would return too -- I was really looking forward to her rush story and finding out where she pledged. I doubt she will return, however, considering the criticism sent her way.

Glad to know that, MaryPoppins. There's just no excuse for bad manners or rude PNMs!

And you'd think at a school with such a competitive rush they'd be on their best behavior. I can't fathom being rude like that.

Unfortunately, there are some girls who go into recruitment thinking they are too good for certain sororities who act snotty to the actives during the parties at those houses. What the PNMs don't realize is that ALL the sororities are good at Ole Miss, but they only listened to the "tent talk" or "status quo" sorority reputations on campus. Too bad for those girls. They missed out on experiencing what real sisterhood is all about.

Another thing these PNMs fail to realize is that, believe it or not, we all talk to each other. And we do watch each other's backs (at least in my experience). And it's not just at the alumnae level, but at the collegiate level. Word gets around faster than the speed of light.

The thread went way off in the wrong direction, unfortunately... I doubt it'll resurface & would be surprised if the OP comes back, although I would like to know the outcome of her rush.

I've sent that GC PNM a PM to check on her. Will advise if I hear back.

Here's a real conundrum. Big-Little gifting. Managing behavior and expectation in this arena is difficult at best. And across campus chapters it's just insane. Any ideas? Please discuss!
