Yes. Or moreso.

Good luck to your girls!

First off, this is coming from a guy down at Miss. State who has no firsthand knowledge of rushing at Ole Miss. However, from what my friends at Ole Miss (and "brothers" up there) have said...yeah, it's really tough rushing there...extremely competitive. From what they've said, a rec from Ole Miss alumni is definitely recommended, if not required (depending upon the chapter you're rushing).

As a matter of fact, I'm planning to transfer up there Fall 08...and coming from a Sigma Nu colony (not having been initiated yet) it'll still be rough for me if I don't have my badge (i.e. our chater) yet.

Rush is competitive here, but so long as your girls don't go in with their hearts set on one sorority and one sorority only, they should do fine. As for recs, try to get at least one for every sorority. They don't have to be from an alum, just someone who knows your girls well and can speak a lot about their characters. Good luck to your girls!

Thanks for your honest insight regarding Ole Miss's recruitement! It's such a beautiful campus; everyone is so darn nice and helpful. We are moving in this weekend as I am typing this...oh my goodness those dorm rooms are small! My girls and their roommates from back home are so excited. My girls have recs/rifs in for all the houses and their resumes,pictures and transcripts have long been sent to the sorority chapters. My only concern is they only have average grades from high school...but
they all are great girls...are grades so important they would not take girls who have
alot to offer a chapter?

All of the girls from our hometown will be going thru rush...they are so excited about the whole thing...but I'm not sure they truly understand the procedure, but I know that will be explained at convocation.
Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out...thanks again!

Grade requirements vary from chapter to chapter. I believe they are going to start to have Gamma Chi meetings this week, so they can ask them. I'm sure that they are excited cause water parties are a week from this Sunday!

Does anyone know what the water parties are?
