And it doesn't matter if they only take 1% from OOS. There is a spot for everyone who meets the membership requirements and maximizes their options in recruitment. You'll do fine. Just get those recs, make sure your resume is stellar, polish your wardrobe and your manners. Smile, relax and have fun. am sure several others from UGA will be chiming in here.

LISTEN to Titchou!! She is absolutely correct. Being from OOS is not the "scarlet letter" that it was in SOME places many years ago. Get those letters of rec for every chapter on campus & do your prep. Go into recruitment with an open mind for all chapters & you'll do fine!

Thank you for the replies...sadly there can be the perception that girls who were not raised in the Southern states could possibly have a more difficult time having a successful rush experience at some Southern schools.
I am encouraged to know that those who responded believe that being OOS should not be a detriment.
