Introduction!
Hi,
My daughter will be transferring to either Ole Miss, University of South Carolina or possibly University of Alabama as a sophomore. She stayed home her first year, as she really had no idea what she wanted to study. It was a good decision, as she is has now found a major course of study she is interested in pursuing.
I know these are all schools with a large greek presence and she is excited to be a part of that. I was in a sorority at a small NY state school, but the process does not at all translate to SEC rush, and my sorority has very little presence in the south. She is doing some of her own research and networking, but I am also trying to get a better sense for how this will all work.
I do know alum letters of recommendation will be VERY important. Her cousin was a Theta at Texas A&M, her cheerleading coach and another friend of family were Tri Delta in Texas and NY. That is just the very beginning of our "research".
Also trying to get a sense what her NY and sophomore status will mean at some of these schools. What disadvantage will that present?
She has been a competitive cheerleader since age 11. She is hoping to also cheer at one of these colleges. Interested in any stories about balancing that aspect with greek life.
Looking forward to learning from you all!
