oh, i agree alum. i think that recommendations are key.

I highly recommend two recs/sponsors/rifs, if possible at least one from an Ole Miss Alumna. You will not be penalized if you have more than two. My cousin had three recs that I know of, when she preffed and pledged Delta Gamma several years ago... She also preffed KD, I know she had multiple recs there. Though she decided to preff Chi O over Pi Phi, I know of three recs to Pi Phi.

The fact is many chapters at Ole Miss have their 2nd day party list completed before recruitment starts, GPA and recommendations play a large part.

You can have more than one rec for each house. It's up to you. You really shouldn't mail anything to the houses yourself since recs need to be written by the alumna. Some PNMs who cannot find recs for a sorority will send in their pictures, resume, and transcripts to that house. I have seen some PNM's who have more than 10 recs for a house and some who have one rec and they both do equally as well during recruitment.
