going out this weekend

I feel like I stepped back in time reading these two posts. Is Ole Miss really that backwards ?

If you went here, you wouldn't need us to answer your question.

But basically, yes, we do like to uphold standard traditions in this largely conservative school.

Why not? Why is this weekend any different than the past six weekends? If girls have already made fools of themselves, we already know about it.

Doesn't make any sense why we would discourage it now!

it's rush week and it's better to be safe than sorry

Who cares what you think? Southern culture is more traditional than where you're from. We're just trying to give her the best advice possible based on our experiences.

Rush is supposed to be dry and that is a national policy from panhellenic... there are reasons for that. Certainly the upperclassmen already in sororities won't pay attention to that, but if they see PNMs out and about then certain judgments can be made.

And in addition to that, if a person needs to go out and drink and can't stay in for a weekend and find something fun to do then that person might have bigger problems.

I'm not at all surprised at your response, "who cares what you think". Those who are willfully trying to subjugate others usually care less of anyone's opinion but their own.

Not once did I advocate drinking. I quite oppose underage drinking and especially binge drinking. I agree with you that there are many things that college students can do for fun that don't involve drinking. I was quoting what others gave as their "advise".

Again, I don't understand why a college age women would feel the need to ask a peer for permission. That is absurd to me. I'm sure that most are also daddies little princess too. My advise to guys that are dating "daddies little princess" is to run for the hills. When you marry "princess" you marry daddy and 40+ years is a long time to be married to two people and be under the thumb of another.

That is your rebuttal, to call me an unhappy middle aged woman? I spoke in general about girls who refuse to be independent and accept the role as daddies little princess. Are you daddies little princess? If so, I'm sorry I did not mean to hurt your feelings.

Do I appear to be a "middle aged" woman because I am able to put together a comprehensive thought and express it through writing? For your information I am probably just a few years older than you. I'm 26 and work for a national company that focuses on psychological and sociological behaviors of women. I work with talented, intelligent, independent men and women that are both young and "middle aged" A coworker recommended this site as an insight to behaviors of Southern college women. My coworker is a bright young woman who is also a graduate of Ole Miss as well as a member of your greek system. I have to say, she was right. I've learned a lot.

Are you the Alpha Phi alum who keeps coming on here and insulting people?

I would expect you to have more of a life post-graduation...but I guess you don't.

I'd keep my mouth shut if I were y'all. She's smoked your a.ss like three times already..haha

I'm laughing more at the notion of a college age "WOMAN" asking the permission of their peer to do ANYTHING.

How are you supposed to show actives how special you are at a party?

"Hey look at me, I can shout over the music! I look pretty! I can dance!"
