As a side note, the chapters at Ole Miss look amazing! I hope the OP shares her experiences after recruitment.

I'm going to say that hand sign is a chapter thing...well at least it is done differently by the girls here. I always thought a hand sign was a nation wide type of deal, but maybe not with some groups. Or now that I think about the girls here use their hands and mouth (ok thats not as inappropriate as it sounds I swear!!!) but it is really really cute as long as they don't get it backwards lol.

I had to wonder about the hand sign one chapter is making in their pics. I mean, I see that they're making their letters, but it could be mistaken at first glance.

WTF....they need to rethink that one! Ha! Sometimes you try too hard to make things work and you miss the obvious. I had a friend who wanted to name his daughter Aubrey Skye. Unfortunately his last name started with an S. You might see the problem. Fortunately, they had a son!

Sweetie, keep your mouth shut when it comes to how you think the chapters are perceived. Count yourself lucky to be honored by an invitation to any Ole Miss group.

When you get to campus, make friends. Look at their rush wardrobe. SAVE MONEY. It will be somewhat expensive to do it right... Then, plan to go shopping in Memphis before rush week.

Olemissglitter, do the other chapters require formal whites? I have no idea about the other houses... We had ours made, as they were informal whites b/c we stayed in the house to do ritual... If so, she should consider buying a white dress just in case.

That being said, there are plenty of Ole Miss rush stories on here. Read them.

Memphis is the closest big city? No shit. I learned something today.

Well, you can go to Tupelo. But, the shopping was kinda shitty when I was there. Memphis is about an hour or so away.

Now is the time to start cleaning up one's Facebook as well. I would even consider deactivating your Facebook account until after recruitment is finished.

PS According to this, Registration opens on May 8th:

Time to get to work getting everything organized.

Putting your profile on private may do just as good of a job. At the very least-- edit it. If in doubt, don't post that status or picture.

If you wouldn't show it to your mother, take it off your facebook.

THIS. Seriously, I look at what girls in my own chapter have up...don't they want to get jobs one day? Sorry for the derailment but OP I would absolutely deactivate starting the week or so before rush until after bid day. Before then, it never hurts to turn off your tagged pictures and make sure you're not a fan of embarrassing stuff (like I don't know "i LoVe tO gEt BlAckoUt dRuNk) because sometimes even people you aren't friends with can see your fan pages.
