How many were in your class when you joined? Were you comfortable with that? Did you wish there were more/fewer of you?

There were 52 in my NM class. That was quota in fall of 1996. That was a perfect number I think. I got to meet everyone and we weren't too big or too small. In the past few years, the pledge classes here ranged from 75-95 at Ole Miss since we only have 9 sororities. I think anything bigger than 75 is too big. That's just my thought on it though. I would have loved to experienced AOII in a small chapter, you know where campus total is like 75! How amazing would that be? I do think though the bigger NM classes make you want to meet everyone.

We were a founding father class... we got 39 pledges which i think made us the second or third largest fraternity on campus. However only 29 were initiated

There were 4 in my pledge class. 1 was a hold over from the previous semester, and three of us joined through formal. At first I wasn't comfortable with only having a pledge class of 4, quota that year was 17. When I got to our bid day dinner and saw only two other pledges I got a little worried. I guess I did wish there were more of us at the begining, but soon learned that numbers didn't mean anything and I really got to know my pledge sisters. It was also kind of odd the semester I initiated because we had two pledge classes. The informal pledge class had 12, so it was interesting to see the dynamic of a larger group right away.

We started with 6. Three were friends and all dropped out together. One just disappeared?! So two of us were initiated, and the other guy didn't even come back to school the next semester...We had 10 initiate the next semester.

We started out with 27...I believe we initiated 22....It was a good size for us and we had plenty of activities when we were "pledges" (This was before the PNM days).

There were 8 from formal recruitment, 3 who had accepted COR bids a little before formal recruitment (we were a deferred recruitment school), so 11 of us went through Alpha Education together and all 11 initiated!

I really enjoyed having all 11 girls go through the build up to initiation with me - we had the chance to get to know one another really well, and I still keep in contact with almost all of the girls I initiated with!

(One wound up transferring to another school after we initiated, and one cancelled her membership more than a year after initiation - but 10 of us are still members in good standing!)
