I'm not too familiar with the way Ole Miss recruitment works, but saying something like "I haven't really met anybody" or "I haven't been involved with anyone" may not be the best idea. Your fellow PNM's are mostly going to be coming from places where they were extremely involved, and the majority will be younger than you, so perhaps that is not the best excuse.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I have heard that the invite lists for the 2nd parties are already made up before the first parties. The first cuts are going to be mostly for GPA and Recs. At some schools, if you're rushing as an upperclassman, the GPA may be a little higher.
I really wish you the best of luck though! I hope everything works out for you. Please post your rush story if you decide to go through with it!
