Ole Miss Rush

[Old_Row]

Junior
GPA < 3.0
Ole Miss
Wants only one of the "good" sororities.

This has got to be a joke or a troll.

I'm not a junior, I'm an incoming freshman. My mind is open to all the sororities, I don't know enough about the Greek system at Ole Miss to know good from bad. I just mean to say how likely I would be to be cut from a sorority I like or how my GPA is going to affect my rush. That's really all I was hoping to know.

My daughter is an incoming freshman at Ole Miss as well and will be going through recruitment. There is a very good thread here already that has a good deal of information about Ole Miss recruitment. You can find it using the search feature.

Also, you will find that your question regarding GPA is addressed by the Ole Miss Office of Greek Affairs.

My understanding, mainly from my daughter, is that all of the sororities at Ole Miss are wonderful and provide a great Greek life experience. Just keep an open mind...no preconceived notions...and look for where you "fit" best rather than looking at someone else's opinion of the chapters. Right now, focus on getting your recs and learning about the recruitment process and let the chapters speak for themselves during recruitment.

Best of luck at Ole Miss and during recruitment.

PLEASE tell me that page wasn't written by someone educated at Ole Miss.

"We have a differed Formal Recruitment that means that the date for recruitment is after school starts."

Considering that's the only goof I see, it is an actual word, and they are nice enough to say "get your freaking rec letters if you know what's good for you" ...I'll cut them some slack. In other words, I don't think anyone believes that's how you spell deferred.

It isn't the only goof; it is the most egregious. (Without going back to the page) There was also an incomplete paragraph in the section on NPHC groups.

It's better than the newspaper story I read that referred to total as "sealing." (Total is also alternately called ceiling.) That made it sound like after you pledged you participated in a Mormon wedding ceremony.

"service hours" was omitted.

Without knowing anything about these kinds of software, who knows why it got cut off.

The point is I've seen FAR worse over the years (sometimes from far more "intellectual" schools).

You scared me DGTess! I thought I must have a typo in my original post. You can imagine my relief when I determined that it was an Ole Miss Greek Life Orgsync page that slaughtered the word "deferred." Surely the person who uploaded that text is not a liberal arts major.

No, she means her sophomore year of high school.

Which she (and her GPA) has had two years to recover from. And should have.
