Mizzou Recruitment Fall 2014

[pinksequins]

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.

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

I'm not entirely sure MissouriFan's numbers were completely off base, considering Mizzou had two more rounds after that (philanthropy and preference) and they had to reduce 1900 PNMs to "around" 100. I also realize regardless of whether those numbers are accurate or not, she should have kept that information to herself. However, is it necessary to spew venom and make snarky comments? Let's assume she's a mom/grandma/aunt whatever whose daughter was keeping her updated (right or wrong) and she didn't realize it was a no-no to put those stats on here. I think there is a friendly way to let her know that. There's really no need for profanity or reprimands. If you read her comment, it did not seem mean spirited in the least.

Lovemybulldog I agree. I assume that the person posting didn't realize she was committing a faux pas. I hope that for the most part everyone on here has good intentions. Best of luck to everyone who is going through recruitment this week, whether as a PNM, active, alum supporting a chapter or a loved one riding the recruitment roller coaster.

Are there new words that are profanity???? Because I didn't see any.

Well bless your heart LoveMyBullDog. If this exchange is "spewing venom" and "profanity" then you should probably back away from the intrawebs.

No. Please, just NO. Just stop. And there wasn't any profanity or reprimanding, so you can let that go too.

I do not assume that. Membership selection is private. Someone is shooting off their mouth, and shouldn't be.

The LAST thing we need is a whole lot of gossip/misinformation/rumors being spouted as fact.

And usually only a few in the chapter, along with the alumnae advisors are in the know with actual numbers.
