That's at least one reason why Ole Miss rush was moved from at the beginning of the semester to when it is.

Great news for all the chapers at Ole Miss!

When I was membership chair, my advisor was a recent Ole Miss graduate, and it was her first advising experience. Within five minutes of meeting her, she asked me "So, how is rush at Emory? At Ole Miss, girls dropped out of school if they didn't get into a sorority. I'm guessing it's not like that here?" This was 20 (yikes!) years ago, so yes there was a time that this happened.

Well done Ole Miss and well done AOII.

The Daily Mississippian Online ('dmonline') has a slide show of some Bid Day pics, FWIW (provided your setup will let you view a slide show).

The photographer didn't even get pics of KD, Tri Delta, AOII, Pi Phi, Theta, or Chi Omega....maybe next year!

If I recall my visit correctly, the houses they DID depict are all in a row on one side of the street, so it's understandable that a photographer would snap them all. Maybe the light was better facing that way.

There was one very cute pic that appeared to be of a legacy and her mom rushing to their house. That's an "awww!" moment. Anyway, I visited on a Sunday morning in the dead of winter, so it's fun to see pictures of the campus come to life.

What about the fraternities? I heard that Sig Ep pledged a huge number of guys...

My daughter pledged with Phi Mu - she was just pickled "pink"!! My girlfriend whom is a Phi Mu legacy said "she must be bleeding pink!" My daughter enjoyed rush so much - she loved all the sororities but Phi Mu seemed like a perfect fit!

It is a great time to be a Sig Ep at Ole Miss right now. They got 98 new guys this year and not one bad guy in the entire group. The Mississippi Alpha Chapter of Sig Ep did better than any other chapter in the nation. They not only dominated all other fraternities on campus, but the entire greek system including all the sororities. I would be damn happy and proud if i was a part of the Sig Ep bid class because this is one group that will be making a big difference on the campus.

Okay, the entire chapters at U of Toronto number about 20 girls.

Congrats to your daughter and Phi Mu. I know she'll love it as much as I did!
