It's awesome that you are starting so early! Here's my suggestions for a successful rush!

1). Find the nearest alumni association. Look on the ole miss website to find the one closest to you. Get in contact with them. They will be wonderful contacts to help you meet ole miss alumni. Most alumni will take you under their wing and introduce you to every sorority lady they know! These ladies may still have connections and can introduce you to actives who will in turn invite you to come stay with them in the springtime. Start looking now!

2). In January or February get in touch with your local Panhellenic association. Or the closest one to you. These ladies will help find you any recs you are missing.

3) start now lining up recs! Ask teachers, friends moms, parents co-workers, church ladies, neighbors, ladies you babysit for, employers. Look every where. The more recs and letters of support the better!

Don't just say you know you won't get top tier! There are many girls from way oos in top tier houses! They all started early with their rush preparation.

don't worry about the tiers. key is to get recs and letters of support for every sorority on campus next spring/early summer at the latest. Contacts you make between now and then will be very helpful in completing that task.
