Maybe someone already mentioned this and I didn't see it, but don't work on your recs over the summer. Start working on your connections now so that your rec writers can submit them when registration opens.

being an oos girl rush sucks and is super hard unless you know people already in the soroity or have a family member who went here. good luck!

Do yourself a favor and don’t come to school here! Sucks

It's not out of state that necessarily is going to hurt you because like other people said, there are tons of Atlanta and Birmingham and other OOS girls in all chapters. To some degree it seems like it's that they only take girls from the south but that's who mostly goes to Ole Miss: Mississippi and other Southerners. There aren't a ton of Idaho and Washington state kids at Ole Miss. So that's who is actives in the chapters pushing for the people they know from back home. It's really about connections. The girls from Nashville or wherever have connections to Ole Miss. Their mom and dad went there or they have girls from their high school who went there and are actives in good houses. They aren't unknown. It's not that the houses won't think you might be a good fit but there are only a limited number of bids and those girls with connections are going to be the ones that get fought for. If you can put aside your preconceived notions and be open you will 100% get a bid to a house at Ole Miss. And the top four might take you. You never know but it's not likely and you should be prepared.

Don't come to this site for advice. Most of the people trolling this site are old ladies and trolls from other schools. Even if the advice sounds reasonable, it's coming from someone who hasn't been in school for at least 20 years.

I was out of state too, coming from Maryland, the “top” houses MAY cut you. I know plenty of Northern and West Coast girls who ended up in the top houses. However, you have a better shot at AOPI, ADPI, Pi Phi ,Pi mu and KKG. As long as you have good conversations and let your personality stand out, I feel as if location doesn’t matter during rush, I know others will disagree but location shouldn’t matter :)

Rush at ole miss is intense for everyone going through it. I am from out of state and had two top houses at pref and I didn’t know anyone when I was going through, so it is definitely possible for you to get a good house. Don’t let being out of state discourage you. Although it is tougher for OOS girls, it is not impossible. Have a positive attitude through it all and you will be fine. We have a very strong Greek life so wherever you end up will be great!
