I'm guessing that a strike is a disciplinary action taken by the University when a student violates Code of Conduct or gets a Minor In Possession Citation, for example. And if I'm correct, that would make you a risk management concern. That is the one issue that would harm you, IN MY OPINION.
High school grades no longer count when you attend college. The college GPA is what is considered.
Hopefully you have volunteer activities that aren't involuntary and you've involved yourself in other campus groups. And from what you've written, it sounds like you might already have your opinions about certain groups, which is unfortunate for you. As an out of state sophomore at Ole Miss, you need to be open to every single group. Period. There are enough threads on GC about Ole Miss that state that fact and many others. Go into recruitment with the knowledge that yes, you may well get released from every single group. OTOH, you may well have a happy ending IF YOU KEEP AN OPEN MIND.
Membership is for a lifetime.

Why don't you know anyone in sororities? You have been at Ole Miss since August. You have a few months left before summer. Start making connections now, without being a stalker.

I am completely out of my UT lane, but the mention of a strike peaked my interest. I looked at Ole Miss website and found this:
Quote:
Q: What exactly is the two-strike policy?
A: The two-strike policy is formally entitled Minimum Sanctions for Alcohol and Other Drug Violations. This policy, which is found on the University Policy Directory, and in the current edition of the M-Book, deals with drug and alcohol violations committed by University of Mississippi students. Students found in violation of a drug or alcohol offense will be put on two-strike probation for a period of time and will at that time receive their first strike. Any other drug or alcohol offense occurring within that probationary period will result in a University Judicial Council hearing where a plea or finding of in violation will result in suspension from the University. Below is the link to the actual minimum sanctions policy which outlines the specific details of the University’s two-strike policy (https://secure4.olemiss.edu/umpolicyopen/).

So the suspicion of an MIP is probably on target, or it could be worse. I would consider this to be a Risk Management risk also, but who knows if shows on the transcript.

Well, here's the good news: nobody is gonna care about your high school GPA once you have an established college GPA.

And yes, I also have volunteer work that is actually voluntary and in terms of activities on campus, I am in two national honor societies.
And I do indeed need to start branching out a little bit more, meet some more new people before rush in the fall. Definitely won't be stalking anyone though (I'm normal, I promise).

1. if you have done something to earn a "strike", then the sororities will know about it during rush, whether or not it is on your transcript. You have to know what a small place Ole Miss is by now.
2. PLEASE don't use the term GDI any more. It is impolite, IMHO.
3. Last I heard, there are no upperclass quotas at Ole Miss.

There usually is an upper class quota, but in 2013 it wasn't used in order to assist the new colony.

Good luck, OP. You are going to need it.

I do not think the university usually put disciplinary issues on a transcript, possibly a FERPA violation. If she was caught doing something like drinking in the dorm, the only people who may know are the RA who was involved and j-board members who are not allowed to discuss proceedings, so the infraction may or may not be common knowledge.
