Do I have a chance

IDK why people keep asking about top house. No, you are not getting what you THINK is a top house without connections, because that is all that top house means here. Not getting a top house here is in no way a failure and no one will look down on you, it just means you are not from the hometown of members, or didn't go to the same high school, and neither did your mom or sister. It has nothing to do with the quality of membership or the perception of them on campus (some of what people really think about them might shock you). Will you get a great house - YES!

no lol

Most of the top houses cut hard for grades and have high minimum average You may need to wait as grades will count at all houses and get you cut.

All of the houses at Ole Miss are good.

Everyone has a chance at a bid. Girls in your situation tend to drop themselves out of recruitment bc they think they are too good for the houses they have left at sisterhood round.

News flash-you aren’t too good for any chapter and no chapter is too good for you.

You are supposed to be finding where you fit. And with a struggling academic background you don’t fit in a house that prides themselves on competing for top grades-you will be miserable bc they will be constantly harping on grades.

I’m curious: Why did you choose Ole Miss? With all due respect, most people with subpar high school grades/resumes don’t make academics a priority in choosing a college. I would think there are plenty of schools in Texas where you could have fun, meet guys, etc without all the hassle of going out-of-state for college.

At any rate, and to be blunt, those who didn’t excel in high school for whatever reason generally don’t magically find their academic bearings in college, where there is more individual responsibility for time management, studying, etc and far more distractions. Best of luck, though.

Honey, you'll be just fine. Don't worry about getting a bid from whet is talked about here as a "top" house. Most of those sororities are pulling from Mississippi - they are a great time if you know everyone already. As someone out of state, you absolutely have lots of great options, and will find your home, but don't get hung up on these rankings.

Every house here is better than every house at a lot of other places.

If Ole Miss were a legitimate educational institution no you would have no chance of getting in here with subpar grades and limited activities/accomplishments, much less getting what you arbitrarily think of as a “top” house… but since it’s a party school with mediocre academics in a state that ranks last in pretty much everything - yes, you will do fine here and hopefully you will find a suitable boy to marry who will support you with his family money (NOT with his personal ambition or individual success).

Best of luck! You must be so proud of yourself…
