University of Oklahoma Thread!

I think most legacies know the specific policy for their legacy house, so in my opinion it is not lack of education. The issue is the inconsistent policies between organizations and the confusion it causes PNMs during tent talk and the anxious period between the final rankings and the opening of the envelopes. For a girl who prefs their legacy house ABC, and ABC policy says, "pref girls get first bid list", she knows she will be and ABC if she went to pref and ranked them first. For the girl who prefs DEF, her legacy house, yet that chapter does not guarantee first bid list, it causes a great deal of confusion and hurt to hear other girls talk about how they know they will be an ABC because they ranked them first, and their celebrations begin 12 hours earlier than everyone else...no stress...all fun. IMO, all legacy that go to pref should be on the first bid list. Otherwise other house will either release them not invite them at all and we all know it is such and emotionally charged time, who needs that?

With RFM, is there still a first and second bid list, or is it just one ranked list?

I can only imagine the hurt feelings of the mother and sitting sister. But as stated none of us are not privy to membership selection. And with so many legacies going thru it is very hard. I know my chapter cut some great legacies as well (prior to pref round). I am sure that is true for all the houses on campus.

Still a first and second list. The first list is alpha order and will be as long as the low number of the quota range. Often quota ends up higher than the quota range, but in the end it all depends on how the RFM specialists can best maximize the numbers of chapter reaching quota and the number of PNMs placed.

Not sure of the accuracy, but on the DG thread, it lists quota as 81, but DG as getting 84 new members.
