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.

Amen to what Tippiechick & CutiePie2000 said too!

Memphis has really good shopping! It's about an 1 1/2 hours away! Germantown and Cordova are really close too and have great shopping. Tupelo is okay and they do have some more choices but not as many as Memphis.

I do like Tippie's suggestion to go ahead and buy a nice white dress. There will be plenty around this summer to pick from and come October when you have formal pledging and then initiation (most likely in January) there won't be as many choices! So definitely pick up a white dress now. It doesn't have to be formal either.

Granted that I am only a dad lane swerving a bit, but deactivating a facebook account for six months because an incoming freshman is going to be a PNM at the University of Mississippi is a little over the top.

Most accomplished high school seniors have clean facebook accounts.

However, I agree that if the PNM has issues with their past friends, etc., then deactivation should be considered.

Yes. You are lane swerving.

If you haven't rushed at Ole Miss or you don't have extremely accurate information on rush at UM, please refrain from giving inaccurate advice.

Setting to private may not work. What about friends-of-friends? There are times that I am able to click on photos, etc. b/c someone hasn't totally taken care of the friends-only thing.

If I was to rush all over again at Ole Miss, I would most certainly deactivate my main account. I would create a totally new shadow account during the summer leading up to rush week...

Deactivating your FB account is not a big undertaking here. You just click deactivate, enter your password, enter the little anti-spam code and boom, you're done. The next time you log in, it's reactivated again.

Anyhow, all of the women so far have backed me up, so I stand behind what I said. If someone wants to go Greek, I wouldn't chance having a Facebook incident jeopardize things.

Also, if someone is intending to go through NPC Recruitment at (arguably) the most competitive Greek system in the USA, and they're coming to "Greek Chat" to seek advice from a bunch of random strangers in the Internet, that does not bode very well for their outcome.

Girls who wind up in the most sought after houses don't come to GC looking for advice, because they know what they're doing.

I haven't rushed at Ole Miss and I don't have extremely accurate information on rush at UM.

I only know one active at UM. She didn't deactivate her account six months before recruitment, but please, don't take that as advice not to deactivate a main account and create a shadow.

I do find solace in this:

Greate advice from the thread: Ole Miss Recruitment

Ole Miss recruitment is practically the definition of competitive. Since their rush is later in the year, you should probably advise your hometown girls to keep it under control and keep it classy when tailgating in the grove or out and about in Oxford. Believe me... the sororities will be watching. With so many girls going through, they are looking for any way to distinguish girls. Also, recs will be very important. Again, with so many girls, a rec is just like a foot in the door. It will by no means guarantee a bid, but it sure couldn't hurt.
