Mizzou Recruitment

[pbear19]

Quota was 83!!!

Every chapter matched to quota!!!

Congrats to all involved. I suspect there may be a few chapters who are below total once that number is released. (Including my own chapter, potentially.) So there may be COB options. But with every chapter matching to quota, there will be no snap bids this year.

Here's to hoping the PNMs on the field this morning are thrilled with their new homes!

Also, while I won't disclose actual numbers, as I'm not sure that is appropriate, I will reiterate that, as of the end of recruitment, 9.7% of the women who registered and did not end up with a bid were released by all chapters. The other 90.3% chose to withdraw when they still had invitations, or failed to maximize their options after preference (suicide or only listed 2 of 3). I'm not blaming those women or casting stones, but I think it is important not to malign the process or disparage the entire system based on rumors about how many women were released this year. Again, hugs to anyone who is disappointed. I can only imagine the heartbreak!!

WOW this is wonderful!!! How long has it been since every chapter made quota? I think this speaks to the power of RFM and also bodes well for the strength of ALL the chapters on campus. I'm really happy to hear this.

2011 was the last year. It really is exciting!! I know this was a heartbreaking year for many, so it's wonderful to see some happy news at the end of the week.

Edit - and if I don't stop looking at numbers and texting/messaging/replying to everyone and their uncle, I'll never finish getting ready for bid day! But if any moms want information on which chapters are below total (once we know) and that are potentially going to have room for COBs immediately, feel free to message me. I'll do my best to help ensure every woman is able to go greek. Can't promise she'll have equal opportunity to be part of every chapter, but will help if I can to point her in the direction of the options available.

pbear19: Thanks for the information above. I sent a PM but not sure if it was received because it doesn't show up in my "sent" box. I would be interested in hearing if any chapters are considering a Fall COB and/or Spring COB. Thanks very much for all the great information.
