Are there any "small groups" at Ole Miss? I thought they were all at 200+. I would think that even the smallest chapter is pretty competitive.

I thought I read in a thread that there were one or two smaller ones...but maybe I'm thinking of Bama.

Yeah that's Bama you're thinking of. Ole Miss only has like 8 or 9 sororities and they're all fairly large.

Oh and for candiceana, here's the Ole Miss Greek Life site (it has info on recruitment, the different sorority websites, etc):

There are some posters here that go/went to Ole Miss that can tell you more (OleMissGlitter & MSKKG)

Hmm. Thanks for the responses.

Not to sound rude (so I hope it doesn't come off like this) but are you saying I have no chance at all?

I was fairly active in high school, I played softball and was a cheerleader, and I am active in my community now as well. It's a no-go on the pageant titles, LOL, but I figure I won't know unless I try...

Nobody is telling you not to try, they're just trying to give you a realistic picture. Are you aware of what southern greek life is like, especially at places like Ole Miss?

To be completely honest, Greek life is basically foreign to me. I'm not a legacy but it is something that I have always wanted to do. I definitely appreciate all the responses though.

And it's probably NOTHING like your Tri Delta friend went through at Wazzu.

You should get in touch with the Overlake Panhellenic and they may be able to help you get recs. Their contact info is probably on the NPC website. www.npcwomen.org The Seattle APh works with the UW so they are going to be much less help.

Definitely read all the Southern rush threads. While I would encourage you to go through rush for at least the experience of meeting all those people ... I would also say that if you're into prayer, you should start praying three times a day from now until bid day that you get bid.
