Hello everyone! I'm so excited to be on this page -- as an ecstatic Mom!
My daughter had an amazing, amazing rush! We really did everything we could to make it great -- but we are not from Mississippi, so we were very worried! We had several recs for each house and were fortunate to have Ole Miss recs for several houses. This was KEY! When she chose Ole Miss, she knew one girl in one sorority... that's it.
She had her top 6 for skit round and her top 3 for prefs! So many girls were not so fortunate. We just couldn't believe it. Each night we'd talk about how crazy it was that she was doing so great! We'd heard all the stories about how brutal Ole Miss Rush could be, and she saw evidence all around her.
She was blessed to pledge her top choice and to be in such a great sorority. Her friends from home also pledged their top houses... so to all the future out-of-state Ole Miss Moms, it is possible. Just be sure you have LOTS of recs for each house and do your best to find recs from Ole Miss alums.
And I know without a doubt that the late rush really helped my daughter and the other out-of-state girls. She was able to get to know more girls and see which houses she wanted to keep and which she wanted to cut.
She is so happy and we are so proud of her! She's now a DDD from Ole Miss!
