Mizzou Recruitment

[WalkintheWoods]

pbear 19 and any other chapter advisors, question for you:

Since this year's quota is smaller than last year's (I believe last year it was 93), what will they do in terms of placing new members with Bigs? Maybe this varies from sorority to sorority. Just wondering if they will have some new members with two pledge Moms/Bigs, or what?

Usually it's just that not everyone gets a little. That's how it works in most chapters.

Some girls might have dropped out or transferred since last year, and some girls might not have the time or money to give to a little. It usually works out ok in the end.

That makes sense; I suppose they ask first who might not want a Little.

It will vary by group. Some may use a point system where members who have accumulated the most participation points get first priority to take a little. There also may be some women whose littles have left school/transferred and take another, or as you pointed out, they may double up.

In the chapters that I've worked with, some people just won't get a Little Sister. Some people are okay never having one or waiting until they are Juniors to have a Little Sister.

I suppose some people could also be studying abroad or doing internships and may be better for them to wait

In my chapter, there were times that two women would pair up to take a little. For example, if one of them was going to be abroad in spring semester or didn't live in the house or something like that.
