just a thought

A few things for PNMs:
1. Do not decide on coming to ole miss based on the possibility of getting into a top tier sorority. In the end, your house doesn't really matter that much, but the experience here will. Plenty of girls in "lower tier" sororities still have a ton of fun, love their experience here, make awesome friends, Etc.
2. Making it through rush here is an accomplishment in itself. Although the sororities are "ranked", being in a sorority in general is impressive, so stop beating yourselves up.
3. I did not have an ideal rush. I got cut from all of my top houses in the third round of rush, and did not get the house that I had put as my number one pref. however, I couldn't be happier.

Just all in all, please stop worrying so much about the rankings of sororities. I can tell you from experience that you will still be perfectly happy in a lower or middle tier sorority if you allow yourself to be.

This is very good advice. It is so easy to get caught up in rankings and such but i think those are the wrong reasons to join a sorority. You join it for a sisterhood and to overall be a better person

Good post. I got my top choice, but could have been happy in any house. I seriously have more friends in other houses than I have in mine.

Excellent advice! When I went through I was expecting to be treated like royalty, unfortunately that didn't happen. I may not have gotten the house that I thought I wanted, but I absolutely could not be happier!

Before going through rush last year I wanted be a phi mu or DG. Although I didn't get them and I am in a "low tier" sorority, I couldn't be happier. I love my sisters so much. I still think Phi Mu's and DG's are sweet, but I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. You truly end up where you belong. Just really try to keep an open mind and you'll be surprised at how much you'll love your sorority. After all, rush at Ole Miss is super competitive and it is an honor to even be Greek.

Great advice for the girls coming up!!! Everyone is too focused on tiers. Girls try way too hard to be a Tri Delt, XO, or KD and hate Theta or ADPi just because they want to be in the "best house".
All the houses here are great and I love my house so much even though it's considered "middle". I can't imagine myself in any other house!
