Impact of Early Recruitment
by: Crystal BallWith recruitment being so early this year, will we see more girls leave Ole Miss if they don’t get the house they want?

It did used to be that way. I hope this school and Greeklife don't regress back to that. With legacy policies being eliminated for many nationals as well as rec requirements loosening up, pnm's now have to stand more on their own personal merits to be asked back to houses. If you're not here for a degree and only to nail down a certain set of letters, then good riddance to you and less embarrassment for this school. The 'right house or leave' mentality starts with the moms, so who needs them. And the alums' grip on certain houses has begun to slip too. We will get the popcorn ready and see what happens.

Is this just a one-time thing? The whole point of moving recruitment back in the first place was that the school was losing money.
When State did variable quota a few years ago, the administration was so shook about the number of withdrawals that they considered moving recruitment to the first week of school.

Oh please. This isn't 196o. Girls now come to Ole Miss to become doctors and lawyers, not just marry one.

Oh please yourself. This was a very real and recent thing when there was a huge move out every year right after rush. Some girls would immediately enroll at State and try again to try to get into the right sorority and then transfer back here. It was ridiculous. So finally around 5 years ago recruitment was delayed until after tuition was due so the huge drop outs wouldn't happen, combined with the 2016 panhellenic institution of Variable Quota for a couple of years to help the mid houses. It throttled the numbers that DDD, XO, KD could take and pnm's were forced to consider other sororities. The Mammas and Grandmas whose legacy daughters were dropped were outraged. It was the biggest stink in the history of sororities here. So moving recruitment back earlier is going to be quite the experiment.

“So moving recruitment back earlier is going to be quite the experiment.”
You do realize that recruitment was at the same time last summer, right? That girls opened their bid day cards before classes started last August and there was no mass exodus?
Go back to the Alabama page you troll.

hey Ummmm my high school friend came back to her dorm one day after rush to find her roommate packing up and leaving. She wasn't the only one either. It's a Mississippi thing though.

Maybe Glenn Boyce isn't concerned about it. He wasn't here during those times right after rush. When the U-Hauls were pulling up in the dorm parking lots and the daddies were moving their girls back home after failing to secure the right bid.
