Girl, please. From the few stories I heard the tent talk sounded horrendous. It's always been there but I think I'm just floored at the viciousness of it. Many girls dropped out in favor of being GDI rather than pledge XYZ house.
The stories I've heard from this year make me extremely sad. I have a niece who will be a freshman next year and no way in hell would I let her go to Ole Miss let alone go through Ole Miss rush.
Sorry to be Debbie Downer, just can't stop shaking my head. That's not to say I think greek life is bad in general or at Ole Miss. I think many women wind up with great memories. But the process is beyond messed up (in my eyes) at this school.

Oh my.
I disagree with you. It's not the process, it's the entire culture, perpetuated by alumnae and actives alike. Frankly, my dear...
