I am an Old Miss parent and Alumni Adviser for a Sorority at a western university. As a lover of Greek life, the extreme negativity toward many of your Greek organizations saddens me. I know that the first thought is that I am a helicopter parent. My daughter had an okay experience, about what we expected because we really had no idea how it worked because it is 180 degrees from my university's system. That is okay because each system is unique. A Greek system is only as strong as it's weakest member and every group caters to a different group of students. To call a group the "rejects" or "losers" demeans yourselves and the entire system. The impression I get from my student is that the members of the "lower tier" fraternities and sororities have been put down for so long that they accept, to some extent, that they are "losers" and don't put forth much effort to change this image. They behave in many ways like abused children. There will always be a more "popular" group for a certain demographic because that is how society works. I would say that one of the "top tier" groups at Ole Miss might not be right for the girl from a small town in Kansas who wants to be an NASA engineer but there is a group that she will fit in with. Just because they are not like you does not mean they are losers, just different. Charity begins at home, so help each other and if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. Promote yourselves, don't degrade other
