Recruitment at Southern Mississippi

[TupeloHoney]

I agree it was harsh today. I wrote a rec for my niece but she still ended up with only 2 invites and it was the 2 she was not interested in, so sad for her. She is smart with a 3.9 GPA, honors college, HS cheerleader and tennis teams, pretty (I am biased though). Not sure what happened or what she should do. Sit out until next year? Accept bid from sorority she didn't really care for?

Glad I have sons.

Tell her to go to prefs and then decide whether to pledge! Minds have been known to change at pref parties!

I agree. I got invited back to all houses after the first set, then got huge cuts after the second sets. I was devastated and only liked two houses out of the six that were left. I decided just to go through with it since I'd been in each house for a total of about 40 minutes, and in the end, I ended up where I was supposed to. You never know--she should definitely give it a chance!

YES.

That's the best thing to do.

And really, at a school like Southern Miss I'd imagine that it's not easy to just rush again next year (i.e. you generally are not going to have a better rush the second time).

So this could be their only shot, and what do they have to lose?

The good news is that she has 2 invites! She really needs to fully consider her remaining options. These 2 chapters may be her only chance to go Greek.
