I don't have numbers, but I know quite a few freshman moms, and I'm hearing lots of stories of girls dropping out of recruitment or PNM's getting calls this morning that they were released. Some very sad girls up at Mizzou today.

I especially feel for the girls who didn't get invited to the preference round. I think there is an expectation going into recruitment that if you aren't a grade risk and you make it to the third round, you will at least be invited to one house for preference. Hopefully, some of these girls will find a home through COB.

Someone said they reversed philanthropy and sisterhood rounds this year? I can't remember the order last year. Does that affect the manner in which cuts are made? Guessing not.

A friend's niece is going through. I know her GPA was not good and was worried for her. I didn't get a number of houses she returned to in the 2nd round, but I knew she only had 2 yesterday. Not sure of today's status. But based on the PHA grade guidelines, I wouldn't be surprised if she was released and grades being a factor.

This I think it where it is so hard for girls, because they relate it back to not being liked.
