calling all sororities
by: Numbers QueenOle 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!
Comment#3 by: why
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...

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!

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!

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.
