The computer tries to match the PNMs first choice, but if ABC sorority has her lower on the list and they fill their quota before they come to her name on the ABC list, the computer will them try to match her 2nd choice and so on.

I believe all chapters now using ICS and/or Campus Director only submit one list. This is the notice Aphi's were given from NPC:
Last weekend the RFM Leadership Team recently completed a meeting with Peter Dudley of ICS Software. In that meeting we discussed suggested updates/enhancements to their Campus Recruiter software program for use by our college chapters, Panhellenic and the RFM specialists.

One significant change all campuses and collegiate chapters that use ICS software will see during the Fall 2013 recruitment is that all final chapter bid lists must be submitted in rank order. Chapters will submit only one list and the practice of submitting two bid lists - an A list (alpha order) and a B list (rank order) - will be discontinued. Submission of one final bid list should expedite the submission of the chapter's final bid list. This practice will now mirror the same process done with chapters/campuses that use the Campus Director Recruitment software program.

These changes will be included in the ICS training conducted with the campus Panhellenic prior to the start of recruitment.

It appears Tri Delta has 84 new members from a candid photo. I will try to find an accurate number.

I agree with IrishPipes. If NM classes are 80+ at Oklahoma, let's talk expansion!

AOPi - 81 (per their national facebook page)
APi - 88 (per Alpha Phi thread on GC - 81 + 7)

Pi Phi - possibly 81 (in a chapter photo from facebook stalking, but photo was small & difficult to count)

And WHAT IN THE WORLD is going on with the OU Kappa chapter? Something about a topless pic during recruitment. (I can't look that up on my work computer due to content.)

It was posted on another site but has been taken down. That's my sisters' chapter (they're alumnae). Yikes

Play around with melt proof make up and hair. Dang it's hot in Oklahoma in August! I am so glad pref is at night..a little cooler. We had pref at night at OSU back in the day and it was a little less brutal than getting glammed up at high noon in 100 degree heat and then walking what felt like miles across campus. I know you will have so much fun!

My daughter has several friends at OU and they absolutely love it there! OU has a great greek system, but it is competitive. You will need recs for every chapter and remember to keep an open mind. Every single chaper at OU is amazing! As another poster stated, it will be HOT! I always tell girls that are going through recruitment in the South to buy a small battery powered fan...trust me, you will be glad you did. Be sure to come back here and let us know how things are going! Good Luck!

Keep thinking positively and keep your mind open!
