A few years back I was contacted by a young woman in a neighboring Northern state asking for a recommendation. She had chosen Ole Miss after falling in love with the campus, and was given my name as a possible contact. I had a brief phone conversation with her, and wrote her a rec. She did not join my group, but found happiness in another. So, yes, it is possible to get a bid at Ole Miss if you're not from the South and don't have connections in the chapters there.
