top sorority

You're living in a dream world if you think your Sorority is going to open doors for you. Maybe if you stay in Jackson Mississippi (somebody shoot me if that happens to me), but as an OOS student it's not going to make a difference in the field I will pursue. Plus, if you are planning to be involved with an alumni group you are going to possibly be an alum with people from all over the country and some of those women will come from schools where your 'top' tier was a 'bottom' tier at their school. I am in a Middle Tier and I will probably end up working in Washington D.C. after graduation and I can promise you that being a member of XYZ sorority at Ole Miss isn't going to help or hurt me.

This is more than likely one of those DG Moms. For some reason DG has some crazy Moms who just can't stay off this site. Their next round of bashing will be the "Sorority Row is where everyone wants to be" and "OMG! Everyone wants to be run to Sorority Row!" Just ignore it, they won't stop but hopefully we are smarter than those crazy 80's Moms.

Let's get real here, anybody who says it doesn't matter about getting into a top tier sorority, didn't get into a top tier sorority.

Top tiered sororities? I don't know where this is all coming from but a lot of it seems to be pre rush rumor. I did meet a lot of people job hunting that went to Ole Miss but being in a "top tier" sorority did not have much to do with getting a job or having a career.
Your major has more importance than anything on career. Your grades that you keep up to graduate have more to do than what sorority you were in. I can sense there is a lot of stress going on at the Ole Miss campus. Relax! So much of what I'm reading on these pages is rumor. There were rumors when I rushed in 1989, but they were nothing but a source of stress. As soon as rush is over, those rumors will still be rumors.
This is for the girls. You will drive yourself nuts with these questions that may not ever have an answer. Your job is to HAVE FUN, get to know as many girls as you can, have good conversation, and dress appropriately for each day. SMILE!!!
I'm saying this because you will worry yourself sick. I've never heard of some of these things that are being said.
Most of what you need to know has been told to you if you are rushing. Do not worry about recs and how much they count, and etc. etc. Do not engage in getting yourself unnecessarily upset over things that may not even be true! Please have fun and take a deep breathe and RELAX! :)

"top ones open doors later in life!"

listen to this.

Do you know how many ole miss sigma nus, Eli Manning got into the NFL? LOLLLLLLLLLLL

being in a top sorority/frat at ole miss will open absolutely ZERO doors. even top law firms in mississippi, if you look at their lawyers, they are all Mississippi grads (ole miss, southern, state, miss college, etc.). Why? because any thing in mississippi is crap. Even if your sigma nu, if the main guy at the law firm is a sigma nu, if some vandy law school grad applied, guess what? bye bye
that vandy kid will bring in a lot more money to the law firm than any sigma nu kid

There is a certain prestige in saying you were/are an Ole Miss ..... (Fill in the blank)
It may not open doors career wise but it definitely helps to establish who you were/are.

Your leadership in your sorority means much more than the actual sorority!

Ok since when are DG and Phi Mu top tier? I can't even tell which one wrote this post because those are both such reaches

OMG! I missed the question about sorority affiliation on my master's, doctorate (and beyond) applications. How did I not see that? My degrees, certifications, and career achievements now feel totally hollow without my sorority's stamp...........said no one EVER.
