SMU

Recruitment starts at SMU in about a week. I'll be really interested to see how their first fall recruitment turns out.

I think for SMU fall recruitment can benefit the whole system greatly. Plus SMU's "other site" got destroyed by a spam bot so that helps.

Anyhow, here's the schedule for the week!

Mandatory PNM Orientation & Open house round- August 28 (all chapters share videos to the PNMs)
Philanthropy days 1 & 2 - August 30 & 31 (max of 6 chapters)
Sisterhood day - September 1 (max of 4 houses)
Preference Day - September 2 Labor day (max of 2 houses)
Bid Day! - September 3

The only thing I will add is this new rule isn't just for PHC; it's for all greek organizations. I do wonder how it'll work for D9/MCGOs as their intake can take up a whole semester before selecting a pledge class.

Well the “other site” was fixed sadly. It was nice while it lasted.

However, I did read more stuff on TS. For one they have a house that is being rented for the girls. However, I haven’t seen anything from them since June 20th on social media. Maybe they finally got stamped out and hopefully Theta can come back (current timeline is a return in 2026)

Haven't seen a lot of tik tok activity. Maybe the PNMs were told not to post potentially?

So poor Alpha Chi had a physical issue with their house (hearing the floor caved in but it could be something else ) but luckily everyone is okay and they moved their parties elsewhere while the problem is looked at.

On a more positive note ADPi is doing really well so far. I’m hearing their philanthropy round has been great so far!

Nope. Many are doing Outfit of The Day. I'm not on TikTok but there is someone on Instagram (@destinee.moreh) who takes these videos and breaks down the cost of the outfits. One today was a PNM who wore a Rolex, Cartier bracelets, $900 Hermes belt and $700 shorts. The total cost of the outfits often run $5000 - $15,000.
She did Bama and Ole Miss too.


Edit: just saw another where one PNM's outfit totaled over $40k with her Cartier watch.

My parents just got a new used car recently and they paid less than that outfit

I search and saw some cute outfits. I do like how rather than doing a mandatory PHC shirt, the PNMs can buy any shirt from the bookstore that they like and style it in their own way. While making a shirt everyone is wearing stand out can be a unique challenge, I see this as a better compromise.

And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why we more "seasoned" taxpayers balk at the whole Loan Forgiveness program.

It's doubtful any of these ladies would ever qualify for loan forgiveness.

Probably don’t even need a loan at all.

From looking at social media I guess they moved into a hall on campus for their parties. I hope the house is okay.


EDIT: well my lurking paid off. The house appears to be okay! They had sisterhood round in there today.

How about The Society (formerly Theta)?
Any indication they’re doing their OWN “rush” like they did in the spring?
