University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment 2013

[DubaiSis]

The answer is Yes. And No. It's a tight rope. The reality is she has to find her own way. The best you can hope for is 18 years of training comes to fruition when it counts. I like the Grandma over your shoulder suggestion. Keep it classy enough for Grandma and you'll be fine.

But I'm trying to imagine the last several presidents of my sorority who I think have all been lawyers turning a blind eye to any insinuation of this type of behavior being in any way promoted by alumnae. All of Indiana might catch fire from their collective heads exploding.

The visual of this in my head is priceless!!!

Hearttoheart, please don't fret over her recruitment being over before it starts. What is done is done. Tell her to hold her head up & watch her step carefully once she gets to campus.

Welcome to Rebel Fanhood, Freshmen!

"Yes, this is a party school. So party, that's fine. Just remember, half of the people in the Grove know your mother, and aren't afraid to tell her what kind of silliness you've been up to."

I think the above quote may be the "tight rope" that DubaiSis referred to earlier. The bottom line is that GLOs are looking for members who are social, but generally speaking, in the "proper way".

I wish we could get some like buttons on this forum!

This all being said, if you're going to drink, drink mixed drinks. I don't mean girly drinks like cosmos, I mean things with whiskey. Reasons why:

1) They taste nastier (at first) and you'll have all you can just trying to get a sip past your tongue.

2) You can hold onto one for a long time and the ice will water it down.

3) Beer/wine/fruity drinks are too much of a temptation to chug. Especially in the heat.
