The summer rush advice for Ole Miss is the same as it would have been for Auburn. And being a sophomore doesn't kill your chances for a good house the way it might for girls. Fraternities don't have numbers capped, so there's not the situation where you'd rather take a 4 year member than a 3 year member, a fraternity can take both. Yes there are way more freshmen pledges than older pledges, but that's at least partly explained by the fact that there are way more freshmen rushees than sophomores rushing compounded by the fact that a lot of the sophomores that rush aren't that good because they are kids who didn't get bids/quit/got balled when they rushed as freshmen. If you're actually a quality rushee being one year older shouldn't limit you to the point where it makes a good house unlikely.

Thanks for clearing that up for the other guy. My earlier plans for AU changed a while back. And just clearing up the other thing LaneSig said, I didn't mean to sound like a douche bag about wanting to get into a better house. There's a lot of information about individual chapters on the internet, written by people who've been there and I was only going on what I've read there. For example, I wouldn't want to end up in a fraternity being ivestigated for dealing drugs on the side and multiple pending rape cases. You know what I mean. I will still, of course, go through rush and see for myself before I make any major judgements.
Anyway, thanks for the information, CrackerBarrel. That's good to hear and I'll definitely keep all of that in mind.
