SO TRUE!

The system is fine, but some of the houses are weak. They are the ones who always have to COB. I don't think it's in anyone's best interest to lie about this, even if the truth hurts. There is a reason they constantly have to be recruiting new members.

Do you not understand that every single house here COULD USE extra girls, ie COB. Whether a house chooses to or not, it's a purposeful decision that is made by that individual house, not one house is ever "forced" to COB. This is exactly why you'll see top tier houses COBing... You can go on and on about "retention issues" while it was actually ChiO who lost the most girls last year and I don't believe they participated while houses who lost less girls did. It's preference, maybe if you actually belonged to a greek org you would be able to understand that.

If a house is so financially week that it must replace each and every girl who leaves/drops out/flunks out/studies abroad etc., I would stay far, far away. Some houses COB all the time. Not a good thing.

None of our houses are hurting financially... Mizzou's weakest houses are stronger than the good chapters at most schools (financially.)

who wrote about their house "never needing to COB." it's in quotes but I can't find anyone who said that. I would be interested in a house that never needs to COB, but which is it? I mean, if it's in quotes someone did right?

When you've completely run out of arguments, say this ^ y'all

Also wondering, which are the houses that NEVER COB?

You are Painfully not funny and clearly aren't at the game rn

All houses have COB'ed at least once in the past 5-6 years, but some have done it just once or twice. That's because the top houses don't have many girls who drop because they are extremely proud of their letters. They also are the houses with strict grade standards so their members really don't ever flunk out. I think the better question is which houses COB just about every semester, and that list is easier to quantify. I don't want to go into specifics here because that's really not fair, but just check the Greek Life stats and you will see the houses that have new members listed for second semester year after year after year. I would stay away from those houses.

GIVE IT UP holy you just really have no life! BTW chio has not cobbed

As a special ed major, I find it offensive that someone uses the word
"retarded" at all, much less in a way that has such a negative connotation. I can't believe an educated college student would use that word.

Of course you can graduate from the school of education and teach special ed. What exactly is your problem?
