We were in a great location on sorority row, but it didn't matter.

:(

Sallie, I understand! The Alpha Gam house at Mizzou was built to be different and, boy, was it. Imagine a sorority house designed along the lines of a 1960's suburban ranch house: horizontal and rambling, with a mosaic-tiled foyer and exposed peach brick in the formal/informal living rooms -- in sharp contrast to the 1920's Georgian revival or Tudor styles of the other houses.

Very true. It's a universal uniform and we call the shorts "Norts."

Since you need 2 recs per chapter at Ole Miss, be sure your rec writers know that you were ill for part of the time and that impacted your grades. They can include that in their recs and, hopefully, someone will take notice.

[See above] Two.

Ole Miss Panhellenic has been very busy on Pinterest, putting up some neat things...impressive! It's nice that there are pins from the chapters as well.

What to say during recruitment

A good question from another thread:

I searched to see if there was a thread specifically dedicated to this topic, but I didn't find anything.

So... what are some questions that potential new members should definitely be prepared to answer while talking to sorority members during rush?

Great answer:

And a great thread from GC on the importance of conversation: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...t=conversation

Other than basic, get to know you questions, we really can't anticipate what they'll ask you- but that's okay because the most important part of answering these questions is doing so in a way that leads to broader conversation! For example, when someone asks you what dorm you're in, you could respond "oh I'm in (whatever) dorm and it's been so fun getting ready for recruitment with everyone. My roommate and I get along so well, last week we went to (some campus event) and had a blast!" and then the girl rushing you will have way more things to go off of than if you had just said the name of the dorm. Both you and the actives will get a better feel for each other if you manage to have a more meaningful conversation than just the basics.
