Absolutely better to have Ole Miss greek alum recs for Ole Miss recruitment. It is also worth the time and effort to find someone willing to contact an active alum or member of each sorority to speak/write on your behalf in each house. You need at the very least two recs and personal letters of support are always helpful. Keep making phone calls and tapping every resource you can think of to contact. Your local Panhellenic is a great resource. Register as early as possible for recruitment!
Recruitment at Ole Miss can be heartbreaking for great young ladies with great grades, lots of activities and no connections. To maximize your choices try to get support in each house!
There are houses at Ole Miss who take grade risks with alum recs and support. But you really need to work hard to get the proper support. It is important to remember just like any other SEC school, with larger numbers going through recruitment and with lesser number of established houses, Ole Miss recruitment is rough! It is hard work and harder if you do not come from a greek family. But it is NOT impossible to end the week with choices and find a great home! Even for out of state girls! Important to keep an open mind about each and every possibility! Don't listen to any "tent talk"! Every sorority at Ole Miss is great! Recruitment at Ole Miss is all about preparation and anticipation!
