Mizzou Recruitment

[AZDBeachgirl]

Hi Momoftiger!
Congrats to your daughter and to you for surviving the momma nerves that go along with our daughter's recruitment! My daughter pledged KD in the Fall of 2013 and loves, loves, loves it! I received a text from her this afternoon and she said that she is so excited about this new pledge class and that it's a fantastic group of girls!
Maybe we will meet sometime at the house- we will be out for homecoming
So happy for your daughter!!

Thank you! She went to her first chapter meeting last night and has her new member meeting tonight. She is very very happy. She said her pledge sisters are all sweet. I was in a different house in college, so I know very little about KD other than they were very nice girls on our campus way back when. Anything I should know as a new member mom? Any words of advice (like they will need to make this craft by X date? Or is there a yearly parents event we may want to put on our calendar now?). Thanks so much! I am so glad to hear your daughter loves KD!

My daughter's good friend who went through recruitment this year is in your daughter's new member class in KD

Congratulations to all the new members of Mizzou's 15 terrific sororities! Great news that each chapter matched to quota. If that trend continues, Mizzou might open for expansion, although some space needs to open up in Greektown.

Moms... if your daughters are interested in Continuous Open Bidding, here is the link to the form she must fill out before she can participate in the informal recruiting process.

I have no idea if any houses will COB this semester, or next semester for that matter. That will depend on a variety of factors. There is at least one chapter that I think will be under house quota, so they may COB in the fall. What I do know is if she wants to participate in COB, she has to complete this form. The fact that PHA has already posted this form to their website so soon after recruitment, I think, is a good sign that maybe one or two chapters are at least looking for some potential new members.

Good luck! Filling out the form is not a guarantee a sorority will contact your daughter, but it's a start!

MIZparent: Thanks for the information.
Does anyone know if it makes sense to try to COB now if your grades were most likely your biggest issue...or, does it make more sense to wait at least one semester and get your grades up and then COB in Spring (if available)...or, wait until sophomore year? I'm just trying to get a sense of what is reasonable, as I wouldn't want her to go for it again so soon and then possibly be disappointed again so soon after formal recuitment.
