Duuude, you don't want your rush to be a bummmerrrrr duuuuude!
You don't have to drink to rush anywhere. If that is the view you have of Greek life, don't rush.
Please work on your spelling, punctuation and capitalization.
Board shorts and surfer shirts are not acceptable for rush at a conservative school, or any school for that matter - you are an adult now. Look at the websites for the chapters to get an idea of what you should be wearing.

Lol. I was thinking the same thing. Just from what I know about fraternity life at Ole Miss, I would say it's not IMPOSSIBLE to go dry. It's just gonna be kinda weird and awkward. Drinking just is a major part of the campus life at Ole Miss. (Or it was in the 90s when I was there...)
Just my $.02. *Backing out of the forum*

ETA: If your hair is long (I'm in Oklahoma, I don't know what surfers look like), cut it.

Considering that about 30% of undergrads are from out-of-state I doubt you'll be the only "surfer kid." Ole Miss is a party school so just keep that in mind but don't let that scare you away.

Don't mean to hijack, but I've seen a good number of rushees go to a rush event in shorts and "surfer shirts." Maybe not board shorts, but shorts nonetheless. Oh, and sandals.

Are there big enough waves to surf in Florida?
I don't know, I've never been surfing...just wondering.

Well I'm not sure how they do it down South, but over here we don't force anyone to drink for any reason, and people can dress however they want for non-formal functions. Many guys in my fraternity don't own a single polo, but they all have a nice suit and a few collared dress shirts for formal occasions/meetings.

LOL. No, based on his username and his location, he's a Chi Psi.
Yeah, the OP has to be a joke, but one of the best ones in a while.

FWIW - Typhoon Lagoon surfing is out of commission. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.
