I just talked to the Panhellenic advisor. She said that as of this morning, they have exactly 1200 signed up she said they expect about another 30-40 to sign up before Aug 27th.

She also said that Delta Zeta presents on Tuesday!! I wish I could stay two more days o be here for it, but I fly out Sunday morning. :-(. AND leave my oldest baby behind.

I don't suppose they have a deadline for when their decision will be made.

If they do it has not been published as of yet.

My friend and her daughter did a great job on their homework. 3 recs for each house and 1 one of each of those are an Ole Miss alum. I can't wait to hear how it works out.

Off to Google Kiersey personality types - not familiar with this but definitely interested in where I land on the scale!

Here goes a tangent! I'm a Guardian. And yes, I had to go look it up. This was a new one to me.

I think it makes more sense to go back to August recruitment the week before school starts. Then it's all over by the time classes start. Sure, you may lose a few who transfer, but is the school that dependent on that handful for the their tuition?

Waiting till January/second semester would seem good but it really isn't. They think recruitment all fall semester and they lose one whole year of membership advantages and privileges - time to develop as an officer, etc. Go back to August.

Unfortunately, until the majority of Ole Miss PNMs come to the realization that there are seven other sororities, any one of which can offer just as much as the two heavily desired chapters, I think they'll continue with the delayed recruitment. There are more than a dozen girls from my daughter's high school class going through recruitment at Ole Miss, and all but a couple of them want only one of these two chapters. It's going to get ugly, I'm afraid.

I think that is a copout on the part of Ole Miss Greek life if that is one of the reasons they are delaying recruitment. Arkansas has the exact situation but RFM (despite its flaws) has really improved the 'status' of the younger sororities on campus. I do not think that delayed recruitment is the answer to that problem.

Catch me up on how it all comes out in the wash. There are 2 chapter that are the most desired. Do all of the chapters end up with quota? Do they end up with real life quota or do they have a lot of girls bail on bid day? I don't need to know which chapters, blah blah blah. I'm just interested to know the real life results as compared to the concerns.

That information is never released publicly anymore. Rumor and speculation are rife.
