As an OOS mom who's daughter is going through recruitment at Ole Miss this fall, OleMissAnchor hit the nail on the head.
Her past few posts are exactly as we were told about the greek scene.
The high school seniors who are attending these spring parties are not being encouraged to drink by alumnae, and they are not exactly staying with complete strangers. Often times, it is the sorority officers and recruitment teams who are doing the inviting. The girls who are drinking are still being warned not to make fools of themselves. We have heard from several sources that girls are being cut from lists based on their behavior at these parties. Girls do need to be warned that their behavior could make or break a successful recruitment.
Ole Miss is a very competitive recruitment and often times party lists are made in advance. You have to get on their radars early! The Savvy PNM knows this! From an OOS perspective, these parties are the only way for OOS girls to meet sorority girls. Clearly Mississippi girls, especially those from Jackson, have the advantage here as they went to high school with girls in each house. My daughter was grateful for the opportunities that presented themselves to her in the way of invitations to these spring parties.
Trust me, I have been clutching my pearls since April!
