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!

Not diminishing the importance of preparation ahead of time -- just a little perspective on the scary impression of it all. The Ole Miss stats for receiving a bid are actually pretty favorable compared to some other schools.
According to stats
posted on this forum for 2012*, around 90% of the PNMs who attended first round received a bid:
"Of the 1250 participated in first round
50 released from system prior to bid matching
71 withdrew prior to bid matching
1129 participated in bid matching"
(and note that 71 PNMs withdrew during the process -- only 50 were released)
For the purposes of comparison -- during the same year at Bama (2012*), about 86% of PNMs who attended first round received a bid -- stats:

(note also at Bama there were more withdrawals than releases)
Does anyone have the stats on the number of OOS PNMs participating in recruitment at Ole Miss? At Bama OOS participants now exceed 50% as I recall. Just wondering -- the girls I have known from my city and state who went through recruitment at Ole Miss received bids -- and they would all be OOS. I don't know any who were released (thankfully!).
