With convocation being this Sunday at Ole Miss, I'm getting ready to go into "Lurker" mode while recruitment is going on.
However, I did want to first thank the ladies on GC for all of the advice that has been given regarding recruitment in general, and especially at Ole Miss. I've passed it on to my daughter and she is very grateful.
To those of you who have offered additional advice and assistance via PM, thank you VERY, VERY much.
I do want to say that as the weeks go on, my view on when recruitment at Ole Miss changes...frequently. LOL!
At first, I was disappointed that while my daughter went down to Ole Miss with all the sororities on equal footing in her mind, once she got there she had time to hear the "talk" about each sorority. (Obviously, as a mom, I want her decisions based on her opinions, not others. Although she assured me that they would be, no matter what she heard, I was still concerned.)
I am now happy again (another flip flop as I learn more) with the timing of recruitment.
Because now, as more time has passed, even though her conversations with the young ladies in sororities is limited, her exposure is not. Now, she has had more time to see and be around more individual girls in ALL of the sororities, and guess what?? No surprise to anyone here...it turns out that there are lovely ladies that she likes in ALL of the sororities, and once again, they are all on equal footing in her mind. (I should have never let it be of concern. She's an awesome young lady with a great head on her shoulders.)
At this point, she is head over heels in LOVE with Ole Miss, and cannot wait to be part of the Greek Life there! (Yeah!) She adores her gamma chis and is excited for recruitment to start.
So again, I just wanted to thank everyone, and I'll be back after recruitment.
THANK YOU!!
