chio baby

XO rush chairs need to work and the members need to get aggressive. One more bad year and they are middle tier.

Chi o needs to watch who is rush chair. A pretty face doesn't mean she's competent. Also, a chair needs to be of good character. There wasn't much there this year.

It might help if they figure out that sheer volume does not make them winners in rush........

The issue here is variable quota for KD/DDD/XO.

Let's first be honest. The vast majority of girls, even really wonderful girls, had no shot at Chi O this year. Just because they lost some top top top girls to KD and DDD, it is still an elite class, no question. The girls they DID get are beloved and connected and gorgeous. KD and DDD just stole some away, but it's not that they had a bad group.

The problem is that before variable quota, if a sorority didn't get all the Jackson or Memphis girls they were counting on, they'd still have truly top OOS girls that, if we're being honest, are often times just as smart, pretty, and classy, if not more so.

Now with the top 3 having to cut even MORE girls, those wonderful OOS and non-connected girls are getting cut and going to Kappa, DG, Phi Mu, and so KD/DDD/XO are competing for the SAME exact pool of girls, with absolutely no padding.

So there's absolutely no room for error for any of those three. Now if any top 3 sorority loses 10 connected MS girls, they can't just fill the class with 10 wonderful girls from LA, TX, GA, etc. They just have 10 less than everyone else.

Variable quota is wonderful for the middle chapters, who are getting outrageously good girls, and for the lower chapters, who have wonderful girls as well. It's awful for the top chapters, and whichever of the Top 3 rushes #3 in a given year, they are in a tough spot.

The Chi Os are going to be just fine, they got wonderful wonderful girls. Every girl in their pledge class was wanted fiercely by many other great sororities. But I wonder if all three may try to target some truly top OOS girls that they know they can win to prevent them from missing quota because one of their two top competitors outrushed them in key MS/Memphis areas.

Honestly pi phi's pledge class looked better......

@awkward....some of those snaps didn't need to be seen.....nasty

I'm in a different top tier, and honestly Chi O got a really great pledge class. While we took a lot of the girls they thought they had in the bag, they also took a lot of the girls we wanted. I feel like most of the top girls were pretty evenly spread out between Chi O/KD/DDD this year, with a few going something else. Not really sure why y'all are freaking out about Chi O. All the girls seemed overly ecstatic to be there and it was their #1 choice.

Rush was so cut throat this year. Great girls got cut and there were lots of surprises. But every single house came out with such a great pledge class. Ole Miss greek life is something to be proud of!!
