While it is true that Southern Miss Recruitment is not as competitive as recruitment at Ole Miss and Miss State, this does not always mean women get bids to the sororities they want. As OleMissGlitter said, always remember it is a mutual selection process. I believe that in the past few years no women have been released, but for many women that meant they got a bid to a group they may not have been as excited about. But, as we all know, if the women give it a chance, they may find it was for the best!

As far as clothing goes, Greek Life at Southern Miss has recently taken big steps to towards enacting the "no frills" recruitment policies. From my experience, the information from Greek Life can be watered down in order to encourage more women to participate by putting less pressure on the potential new members. For example, they stress that you don't need to get recommendations, but in reality a woman with a recommendation will have a distinct advantage over a woman without one. And, in order to get a bid to most sororities, you must have a recommendation. Same with clothing...if I were you, I would bring what the book says, but if you can, maybe bring an extra couple of things that are a bit dressier so that you'll have some options.

Also, recruitment is during the day.
