thanks Griffins@Quills. This seems really sad!

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.

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?

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.

AGDmommy congratulations to your daughter!
So happy it has all worked out and looking forward to watching the live stream today!
pbbear19 thanks for all of the accurate information-looking forward to continued growth!
Best of luck to all today!

AGDmommy. YAY! So happy for your daughter and for you as you celebrate with her. It sounds like she found a sisterhood that she feels a great connection to. Wishing her years of happiness with her new sisters.

So excited to hear from the other moms about where your daughters end up.

On another note, I'm supposed to be the greeter at church this morning. It starts at 10:30, so people will be arriving to be greeted starting about 10:15. I guess it would be inappropriate if I greeted them halfheartedly while watching the live stream of bid day with earbuds in ��. I may have to slip outside for a quick check after the service starts!

Can't wait to hear where your daughters end up. Maybe some of our daughters will end up as sisters!

Grades are also a factor. In my daughters house the sophomores must make grades to be eligible to have a little.

Does anyone know if the live stream will just appear on that page or you have to sign up for an account? I signed up for a free account with livestream.com but I can't find anything yet. The page shows there are 180 viewing...

GoMizzou I'm getting the same thing so it's not just you. I've watched LiveStream events before and it seems like they turned it on right before the event but I'm not sure....anyone else know?

The actives are over the moon about their new members! Very exciting! I look forward to watching live.

GoMizzou · #15 08-23-2015, 10:17 AM

I think you are right, it will just come on when it starts. I thought they might have it going already but probably not.
Today must be as exciting for the actives as the PNM!
