University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment 2013

Love the second answer!

My daughter and I noticed on another website that the issue of reputation came up. I know gpa's, high school activities, etc. are important, but nobody is saying anything about standards. I have advised my daughter to keep her social media clean and pay attention to how other percieve her. She attended two spring parties and was provided alcohol both times by active members of sororities. With recruitment six weeks into the start of classes, how important is reputation? Does a successful recruitment mean the PNM's stay out of the bars and situations where alcohol is present? My daughter has friends who think it is important to drink with the active members of the sororities. They think it will help in recruitment. What are your thoughts on this sticky subject? The advise my daughter was given by her friends who are active members was to drink a little (you are expected to), but not so much that you get sloppy.

Last I checked, underage drinking was against the law. I have searched and searched this site for answers, but this subject seems to be taboo.

Great. Sorority members giving incoming freshman alcohol and telling them they need to drink it to be Greek.

Risk management anyone? Maybe I'm naive, but I would tell my daughter to put any sorority who gave her alcohol and told her she needed to drink at the very bottom of my invite list. That's a social probation chapter waiting to happen.
