I'm from New Orleans, born and raised like I've said before, I have a summer home on the coast of MS. The coast is WAY different from other parts of the state. However, they all have the same mindset when it comes to sorority life. I know of one family on the coast that would die if their daughters weren't all in a certain sorority at Ole Miss. They sponsor Summer Recruitment get-togethers on the coast and they are very pro-ABC sorority, even though their two daughters aren't yet old enough to even attend college. And their two daughters are very excited to one day join their mother, aunts, and grandmother in ABC's sisterhood and glory at Ole Miss.
I will say this, since I am an Ole Miss alumn and I do work for Ole Miss currently, in Alumni Affairs!, anyway, Ole Miss is a way of life, it is not just a place to come and get an education. We all sort of run with the same crowd after graduation, we all end up having the same interests after graduation and meeting up at unexpected places, and we all love our sororities and fraternities. I will say this, I think we have great alumni for our Greeks and for our university because they truly do love this place. I mean, it is beautiful, fun, provides an excellent education, and most of all it is Ole Miss, enough said...

Everything in this post is true. And it's not just the coast. This is also true of the DELTA! People from the delta think that it's the best place on earth...there is no where else. The guys are ALL in XYZ frat and most are heirs to the families cotton farms. Either that or their dad's are tobacco lawyers. And they all already know what GLO they are going to join by their 1st birthday. You truly have to see this place to beleive it. There was a girl in my sorority from Jackson who's baby blanket was a Phi Mu one her mother gave her. She said she'd slept with that blanket since she could remember.
I am from Tennessee and my going to Ole Miss was kind of random. I didn't know how it was til I got there. I had not had family there or anything. You hear stories and all..but seriously, we aren't stretching the truth. And after a while, you really start to beleive that Ole Miss is the best place on earth. Not the only place, but the best place. Like OleMIssGlitter said...it's not just a school...it's a way of life. On the days that we don't wear our greek letters, we wear a shirt that says "Ole Miss: We're not snobs....we're just better than you." This is mainly directed toward Mississippi State.
