University of Mississippi - Ole Miss 2014 Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment

[ElvisLover]

I advised a dear friend (and sorority sister) a few years back whose daughter had a low GPA as your friend's DD, MP. My advice was 100 times NO, don't rush! We knew the cuts would be harsh, and even though her daughter knew that going in, it would still hurt. As it turned out, her DD went to Ole Miss and made good friends without going through, but she still was unable to keep up her GPA and transferred to a CC the next year. You can use my story if you would like to convey this to your friend. I don't think most moms realize how excruciatingly competitive Ole Miss rush is, and I would hate for her daughter to have to experience that type of rejection straight out of the gate. Just my two cents.

I know we talked about how Texas has the spirit groups and such that are very sorority-like - is there anything like that @ Ole Miss?

No spirit groups at Ole Miss. But I think there are enough clubs and orgs where a young woman can find "something else to do" besides joining a sorority. I know some of the new Residence Halls do have interest groups who are very active on campus and in the Oxford community. I do think a young woman can survive socially at Ole Miss without being a sorority.
