For Greekchat to answer for PNMs and families. How much stock should a Potential New Member or her family put in information they get from Ole Miss Greek Affairs? What if the information on Greekchat conflicts with information from Ole Miss Greek Affairs or its publication the Angelia?

Honestly I think the way to go about it is to remember that Greek Affairs will tell you what you need to get A bid not necessarily the BEST bid for you.
They are pretty reliable about what to wear, grades to enter, and times, etc.
Greek chat has the benefit of being able to review what has happened over several years but lets face it most of us have been out of the game a while - we dont always know the latest change or what the cool kids are up to these days. (Unless of course you are an advisor at that school - props to MP.  . )
Think about it like a job interview and you want to put your best foot forward. Meetings that are labelled optional you should still try your best to attend. Minimum GPA is just that - minimum -thus not competitive.
Rec letter information is chapter specific so Greek Affairs cant really tell you for sure - if everyone on here is saying do your best to get letters know that to have the BEST chance of maximizing your invitations your need 1 LOR for each chapter

In New Orleans, the French street names have their own unique "Yat" pronunciation:
Burgundy = Bur-GUN-dee
Carondelet = Ca-ron-da-LETT
Chartres = Charters
Fontainebleau = Fountain Blue
Toulouse = TOO-looz

I was adopted by '83 when I transferred in from Virginia in to the '82 class, so I attend back to back reunions. I couldn't find an Anna on the '83 attendee list, but found one on the '82.

Oh - don't get started on all the pronunciations of Lafayette in this country! Let's see, there are:
1) Le-FAY-it in Alabama
2) Laugh-fee-ette in English and La-FI-ette in French in Louisiana
3) The one above in MS
4) LA-fee-ette in Indiana
And there are probably others!

Linguistic conflicts
I read an article today that reminded me of this thread. It's 22 maps that show the deepest linguistic conflicts in America.
