Mizzou Recruitment Fall 2014

[Lovethesand]

[QUOTE=NorthernMom;2286980]Well, hoping the remaining 4 she has are welcoming of transfers. I get that they want a girl to be involved for as many years as possible, but I know she planned to be involved all 3 years at Mizzou.



NM, I really know nothing about recruitment other than it is stressful for daughters (and moms secondhand). My own Debbie's made me want to drink religiously. Reading the posts on this forum it seems you don't want to readily identify yourself (PNM) or your daughter. The information you've posted about your daughter may easily identify her to actives who do read this forum.

I wish her the best of luck.

I hope everything works out for her!

In NorthernMom's absence, some judicious editing on my part to help her daughter maintain anonymity.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't really helpful. Thanks!

[PenguinTrax]

Your heart was in the right place.

[NorthernMom]

Oh, thank you!! I hadn't even thought of that. Just trying to get a better sense of things to help support her.

Hi Pearl alum

You asked for updates from Mizzou:

My daughter is rushing there. They are finishing round 2 today. Don't know #s but have heard that cuts were pretty big on first day (each house has to cut a certain percentage each day, correct?) My daughter heard of people who went back to 11 of 11 possible houses for this round, but there were also girls who only had a few houses on their schedule for round 2. She did not have a totally full schedule, but went back to quite a few. She's returning to all of her round 1 favorites, which is great, and also found another house that did not stand out in round 1 but that she really liked this time. Interested to hear how she likes the houses she is visiting today.

Let's call the houses she likes the best so far by these names (please don't read to much into this--I just picked some characters at random from a mythology book):

Athena
Freya
Kwan Yin
Gaia
Tara

She went to Tara and Gaia yesterday, along with some other houses.

Today she'll visit Athena, Freya and Kwan Yin.

After round one, Athena was her fav. We'll see how she feels after finishing up today.

Has anyone heard #s re: how many girls have dropped out or been released? I heard that one group of girls got released for skipping a party in the first round.

There will always be rumors rampant. My advice is to not pay any attention to the rumors and tent talk. ETA: if a PNM does not attend all the parties to which she was invited, she will be released from recruitment.

Release figures typically are NOT made public during ongoing recruitment. There may be some data at the conclusion of recruitment, when all bids have been issued and the dust settles, but no specifics. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong about this statement.

[WalkintheWoods]

Thanks for clarifying that AZTheta. It makes sense that they would not release those numbers during recruitment.

After the first round, the ladies had to narrow the field from 1900 to 1100. Tomorrow, it's reduced to just over 400. WOW. That's brutal. Good luck to all the moms with daughters fighting the heat and STRESS in Columbia. The end result will be worth it! It's an incredible greek system!

Either you are making shit up or you are sharing information that you shouldn't be. Stop.

Unless Mizzou has a cap on membership, WHICH THEY DON'Tyou have ZERO idea how many women will be cut.

In addition, MoFan's "math" makes no sense no matter how one tries to explain it: 400 bids only? No. 400 for Pref? No. 400 per chapter? No. Just no. No, no, no, no, no.

I am pretty sure Missouri uses RFM and therefore your blanket statement of your above number cannot possibly be true. Here is the problem with reporting the rumors you have heard as fact on this site. People will correct you VERY fast.

Hope all the girls (both PNMs and actives) have a great Round 3 today!
