The biggest thing is connecting with people and that's going to be true no matter where you are from. I wouldn't give up after the first semester. I am also an OOS student and I will say it is probably easier for the Mississippi students who are coming to school with a large number of already established friends. If you are planning to go Greek you will probably find it easier to connect within the sororitys that are made up of mostly OOS students. However, I have friends in all the sororitys, some are from Mississippi and some are OOS students. One thing that will help is if you are in a 'school' such as Honors, Public Policy, Croft, etc., those students seem closely connected to each other. Plus since your grades are good you would want to consider joining the Honor fraternities when you are invited or look for any of the clubs that appeal to your interests. Don't limit yourself just to Greek Life - it's good, but because the sororitys are so big you have to work harder to find the people you have some common interest with. I love Ole Miss - but I had to work at making myself join things and get involved. I actually went through recruitment as an after thought - sort of a last minute decision. There are some girls who come here strictly for the sororities - and that was interesting and entertaining to me. I have found a few friends in my sorority but honestly most of my best friends have come through other organizations. So my only advice is if you come to Ole Miss - look for clubs/organizations to join and start meeting people. Meet the people in your dorm. Just meet people until you find your group.
