im in the same boat as you! except im going to bama.
im gonna rush, and not care what other people think. if anything, its gonna be a great way to meet people before school starts. ( i know ole miss has rush during the school year) Be yourself, dont try to be something youre not. If its meant to be, great, if not, dont worry about it. There are so many organizations you can join and be apart of on campus. You dont haveee to be in a sorority to have fun, but yes they are great for networking and social occassions on campus. Put your best foot forward all through rush, and show them who you really are. Dont focus on whether or not they are judging you.
I went to panhellenic weekend and some girls told me I would have a better chance with the NPHCs and others told me to go for it.
...Aint nothing to it but to do it :P
Plus...youre going to school in the SEC..what more could you ask for?
See ya when we beat yall AT HOME! (football)..with or without a sorority sticker
