calling all sororities

by:    

Ole Miss Greek life can't keep up with the demand! We NEED more sororities on campus so that pledge class sizes can become reasonable again! 170 (projected) in a pledge class is ridiculous! Has to be the biggest in the nation! Please, sororities, come to Ole Miss and colonize! you shouldn't bash them but welcome them!

Has too many students without the parking, housing, and roads to support then. Way too crowded!

More sororities doesn't mean more students. There would be the same number of students, but houses would have smaller pledge classes. Greeks get spread out among larger number of houses.

Why would a sorority even want to colonize here- just to be called bottom tier, consistently bashed and blamed for every perceived mistake that other chapters on campuses far away make... why would they set themselves up to be "failures"-- honestly the sorority scene on this campus is so toxic I don't see why any good sorority would spend the millions of dollars it takes to come down here...

I'm curious after reading this if there are around 600 girls in a sorority and dues are approximately $2500 each semester where is all that money going?

I don't think any of us has 600. Maybe 400. Girls drop,leave, etc all during the year.

Good luck with recruitment. Support all sororities on campus...especially those new to Ole Miss. ADPi got off to a great start two years ago and hope Alpha Phi does too this year!

Should be Ole Miss Sororities have a poor retention rate. If quota is 170 than a sorority with no loss would have 680 members. According to the Ole Miss Academic Report Sororities list the following as members:
Chi O 407
DDD 383
DG 374
Phi Mu 364
KD 354

Those numbers reflect a horrible retention rate. That is a 40-48% drop rate over four years!!! Why is that? Fraternities have a much higher retention rate. Top tier fraternities have about about a 78% retention rate.

Last year quota was 130 (less pnm). The year before that quota was 118. Every year more and more girls go through recruitment making pledge classes bigger and bigger each year. Also harder and harder to manage. This year they are estimating quota to be between 150 to 170. Record freshman class.

We need sororities. Just not ones that have to potential to embarrass us and this year alpha phi is not off to a great start.

Why list any at all? Poster was saying that there was a poor retention rate and someone else answered that their assumed numbers were off.

How is it even possible to get to know, much less form a sisterly bond with, 300-400+ girls? That is way too many! I bet that there are girls that don't even know the names of half of their sorority sisters. More sororities are definitely needed to get the numbers down in each house!

Kick Kappa out because they haze ... at Dartmouth.

In 2012 a female Dartmouth alumnus came forward about the hazing that goes on in Dartmouth sororities, and revealed her particular traumatic experience. As a sophomore rushing Kappa Kappa Gamma, Ravital Segal, who graduated in 2009, awoke in the hospital after being admitted to the ICU with a BAC of 0.339 – a 0.4 BAC leads almost exclusively to coma or death. She reports, “I was literally one sip of alcohol away from dying” and maintains, “to this day I have no idea what happened that night.” Two other pledges were also hospitalized for overdoses. Despite the sorority rituals of excessive drinking, Segal assured the administration that she had not been hazed, since it had been ‘her decision’ to drink; the sorority went unpunished. However, Segal has since voiced another reason she chose not to blame the sorority, not wanting to “incur the social ostracism that would surely follow.”

Good thing kappa had alumni advisors to keep them in check. Alpha phi won't have alumni advisors to help guide them.

You are an idiot if you think the new chapter won't have supervision.

It's pretty obvious that their nationals have no control over their chapters. With a new colony, they will have no local support! Only alumni from other chapters at other schools.

Please quit calling me an idiot! I'm not insulting you! Are you an alpha phi? You obviously have no idea what southern manners are! And you certainly are not helping their cause.

Delta Gamma doesn't know how to behave.

In April of 2013, a Delta Gamma sorority sister’s almost humorously vicious, insult-ridden email to her fellow sisters leaked and went viral. The impetus for the email was the sisters’ inability to participate in Greek Week duties, including schmoozing with their ‘matchup’ fraternity Sigma Nu. Among myriad other accusations, this sister attacked the girls of Delta Gamma of “LITERALLY being so f—king AWKWARD and…BORING.” She reminds them, “FRATS DON’T LIKE BORING SORORITIES.” Ultimately, the letter accuses the girls of socializing amongst themselves as opposed to making a good impression for their senior Greek partners and fraternity counterpart Sigma Nu.

After the email was released and gained significant notoriety, the sorority sister who sent it resigned. The sorority released an official apology for the scandal, stating, “the tone and content of the email was highly inappropriate and…should not reflect on any sorority woman in general or any fraternal organization at large.” If you’re curious, you can read the entire email here. If you’re offended by off-color language, though, you might want to skip it.

There's a huge difference between an established chapter with supportive alumni and strong nationals and a chapter colonizing at a school for the first time with obviously incompetent nationals. Please stop shooting down the wonderful sororities we already have!
