As someone with generations of Memphis family. I attended a well known private school considered best in Tn before moving so I had connections. Then moving to Atlanta attended what was at the time the best public high school in the state. Went through Rush at UGA. Please it was connections at UGA just like Ole Miss. I was lucky as my high school was a major feeder school and had gone to camp with many girls that turned out to be in a sorority. Again even back then so many girls like me were double legacy status and it gave preference. Not all the sororities could take all the legacy girls. Keep in mind now Legacy girls is only a consideration. It is much kinder to cut them early if they are not a fit so they can find a house. Back in the day they may have kept you right before Pref and then cut you if you were a legacy or had a recommendation from a well known alum. I had to transfer to Ole Miss to take care of sick relative affiliated with my sorority. I got to see life on the other side of recruitment at both schools not much different. SEC Greek Schools in stronger houses pick pledges with strong ties to the school and community based on their families. Just like business connections matter. People use well it is a legacy sorority to justify why their little princess was cut-but most girls getting into SEC schools today have high grades, activities, sports, volunteer, and work experience. That is not enough to be a an IT GIRL. No one is going to look up your child's high school to see ranking unless their other girl's in the house she wants pulling from her. I would tell out of state Mom's to find a camp in Ms. if they are sending their children out of state so they can build connections. Having been inside a house during rush I can say you try to talk when allowed per the rules to talk to many girls in the spring. But it is a kindness to cut early if they do not have the pull in the house to get a bid in a competitive year. Either way she will have a great time at Ole Miss. One of my best friends came down from the Midwest to attend with me and it took her until Junior year to get in a sorority. She still had a great time before she got in a house and got involved in clubs etc. She met more people and got her grades up as she had a learning disability-at that time it did count against her sadly. My other good friend from the West came got in a sorority her 1st year. Many Ga girl's many out of state girls at Ole Miss. All have a great time. Keep an open mind on houses. Many girl's went PHI Mu from Ga. and now many ADPI. Both sororities founded in Ga. Many fun activities outside of sorority life at Ole Miss and she can network. Keep an open mind and it is sad people focus on rank not on the right fit. You can tell your child I was in what is a top sorority both at UGA and Ole Miss but even if I had been in a bottom sorority they all do the same things have lunch and dinner, socialize, make life long friendships,.
