I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for this thread! As my name suggests, I'm new to Ole Miss but also to the Greek world. My DD is an OOS PNM and I am clueless!
We just visited her this weekend for Fall Family Weekend and the first home game. (Tailgating at the Grove is a story for a whole 'nother thread!) Anyway, she seems to be adjusting fairly well to college life 6 hours from home and had a great time at water parties yesterday. She has a friend in one sorority from her high school and she has helped guide her through Ole Miss in general and rush, well up until the semester starting.
I've read through all these pages and whew.....it's all so much. Like hundreds of other girls, my DD had a 4.0 in high school, numerous scholarships/honors, great extra-curriculars, good rec letters. It's daunting from my perspective, to say the least, but she says she is going into everything with an open mind and so we are just hopeful she lands somewhere and it's a good fit for both!
Quick question: My DD said that some of the girls on her floor said their moms are going up during rush week and particularly for bid weekend "to support them." Is that common? I would love to go and see my dd and be there for her, but I'm wondering between homework, sleeping, and rush activities, would there really be time??? I just LOVE Ole Miss and Oxford in general and love the idea of any excuse for a weekend get away, but would visiting then be too much? What happens after 3 pm on Sunday bid day? Thanks in advance for any info...
