Those favored few chapters will not be likely to ever participate in COB or Spring Informal recruitment as they push their fourth and fifth year members out the door to make room for the next class. Those same favored chapters are very reluctant to take sophomores, so dropping out and re-rushing next year is unlikely to make a difference for a choosy PNM.

The rest of the PNMs need to keep an open mind if they want the Greek experience. Everyday, when the PNM gets her invitations back, the chapters that invited her are the ONLY ones on that campus for that PNM. A chapter has indicated an interest in getting to know that PNM better, and she should be very grateful. Sadly not everyone can be an Ole Miss Greek, but keeping an open mind makes it a possibility. Every PNM class is nearly big enough at Ole Miss to change the entire personality of a chapter. So, if you don't like what you see now, stick around and "Be The Change You Want To See."

Best Wishes and Good Luck To All the Ole Miss PNMs!

This is quite possibly the best advice I have ever seen for a PNM at Ole Miss, or anywhere else for that matter.

When my daughter was a PNM at Ole Miss last year, these were points that we emphasized. She LOVES her GLO, but still concedes that recruitment was very stressful. PNMs would be very wise to heed this sage advice.

Have a great recruitment!

Agree 100%. MP knows her stuff!
