University of Mississippi - Ole Miss 2014 Panhellenic Sorority Recruitment

Post-Bid Day Blessing

by Lane Proctor at Ole Miss - yesterday in Scene

This is an article about sorority girls and friendship. But I offer no frills, fabrication, or high-pitched enthusiasm.

What I learned from going through rush at an SEC school is that relationships between college-aged girls are very complex. What matters most to many is not what the average student would perhaps like to say to a crowd of mature, rational adults. College is its own unique society and with that comes conflicting perspectives on what is right and wrong.

This sort of community has the potential to bring out the best or the absolute worst in a person. It can be difficult to maintain a perfect track record of good decision-making as a young adult after being thrown into a world virtually run by adolescents. At times, it can resemble a cruel psychological experiment measuring how naïve students will act when placed in situations that are not indicative of “real life.” Rush and sorority life are perfect examples of this.

Now that all female students involved in Greek Life here at Ole Miss have maneuvered their way through the tedious and sometimes emotionally draining process of rush, nobody should regret where they landed. Regardless of which sorority they had the privilege of joining, the potential is there to find the sort of friends worth searching for.

"Regardless of which sorority they had the privilege of joining, the potential is there to find the sort of friends worth searching for."

My favorite line from the above post.

AOII & KKG lists of new members in the paper. Although I'm thinking KKG might have made a mistake because they put down initiates instead of new members. But who knows maybe they already had initiation?!?!?!

I hate to cast aspersions on my sisters, but I'm not sure that someone wasn't drunk when submitting that Kappa list, LOL. With the "initiates" terminology along with the absolute absence of a discernible order to the list, I just shook my head. AOII had a nice alphabetical list. (HQ has to approve any requests to initiate prior to six weeks of the new member term, so while it is POSSIBLE that they are already initiates, it is not PROBABLE, IMO.)

I've seen other groups with the names out of alphabetical order in the past. So that didn't really bother me as much calling them initiates.

I like alphabetical. It's just an OCD thing. LOL.

I understand the confusion. You see, we recruited all snowflakes (we know this because we have notes from their moms). Since 100% retention is therefore an absolute certainty, calling them initiates was completely intentional and in no way a misteak or errer of any kind.

Hee. I giggled at this.

I'm wondering if the Kappa list isn't 1) alphabetically by hometown and then 2) alphabetically by last name within that.

I think you're giving our sisters too much credit. Clearly, they were ranked by GPA.

My vote exactly.

The former, apparently. Good advice, DeltaBetaBaby.
