transfer

Honestly, I don't have any friends outside the Greek system other than casual acquaintances from girls I have met in my classes, or girls who are dating friends of my boyfriend.

The Greek community is large and we gravitate towards each other, regardless of which sorority we are in.

That being said, I don't think you should write off rush so quickly. Yes, there are sororities that will be harder for you to get into, but there are also sororities that take lots of transfers! We have two new sororities that need transfers to balance out their class mix.

Don't read too much into all the rankings! Only freshmen obsess over those. Even the newest sororities have great mixes of girls that are easy to fit into.

I will be a senior this year and in my sorority, girls don't drop out. We have girls that transfer schools, or drop out of college in general, but if girls are still attending ole miss, they remain active. In most sororities you can't even live in the house until you are a junior or a senior.

It's not too late to sign up for recruitment. But you will have to work extra hard and fast in finding Recs!

@OP, it sounds like you should definitely give rush a chance when you get here! you said you could see yourself being friends with girls in Greek life because you have similar personalities, so you could give it a shot!

another thing, if I'm reading your post correctly, you will be transferring as a sophomore next fall, meaning you're entering your freshman year at another school this fall? if that's the case, and the school you're going to this year has greek life, consider rushing and joining a chapter there that's also at ole miss, and that way you can affiliate when you transfer.

if not, just work hard at keeping your GPA up next year because that will help, do some stellar activities and have experiences you can talk about, and working on making connections/getting recs because all of that will help you if you transfer and decide to rush.

if I'm funny, a do gooder, have looks, but not necessarily the grades what sorority would accept that
