This thread has been thoroughly entertaining!
As a Delta Gamma, I've always been aware of our heritage in Oxford. And the comments about the various Southern sororities is fairly accurate, but having lived all over the US, and in other Southern areas, there are some places that are a world unto themselves. Ole Miss is one of those places. (Not a swipe!)
I would never doubt that Theta has done well at Ole Miss. They are an AWESOME group whose members are wonderful and quite frankly, among the cream of the crop on a national level!
I lived in Dallas for almost 20 years and just relocated back to my home state of Florida. I was very active in Panhellenic, and it was known that many Dallas girls went to Ole Miss and took their love of the "Big Three" to Oxford and pledged. I am speaking of Theta, Pi Phi, and Kappa; some were legacies of these groups and would have been caught in the legacy numbers game at SMU or UT and to avoid breaking Mother and Grandmother's heart, they went to Ole Miss.
Someone said that FSU was not so big on recs, but more on looks and clothes. I think that statement is unfortunate and undeserved. Every campus focuses on something. Would it be fair to say that Ole Miss focused on your family, your connections, your family's bank account, the "right" church, etc?
FSU is in a Deep South town. Give us a break!
