fitting in?

by: Curious

What's up I am attending ole miss next year as incoming freshman looking to rush a fraternity. I am from New England, specifically Rhode Island and I wanted to get more info regarding where I might find my place. I like to be active (sports, lift weights, any exercise) and I also party. I like to party hard and go crazy but also know when enough is enough. I don't have a southern connection to anything at all, so do you think being from the north I will get looked at as different? Looking to find the right spot and keep an open mind but also looking for any info that might help!

hey man I know what you mean. I'm also from the north. Boston to be specific. It is harder to rush being from the north. Because of where your from and lack of connections most top tier houses will look the other way. Don't get discouraged I was able to find the right fraternity and couldn't be happier. Going through rush you'll meet the guys in every house. As I was going through I found that beta, sigma pi, and phi kappa psi were all very well rounded houses. They won't look the other way based on where you're from. In one house I was able to find a couple guys who lived just a few miles away from me back home. If you really stand out you may even have a shot at ato or kappa sig. They do take people from out of state but usually only if they have money/legacies. If you're into playing sports and intermurals beta takes intermurals very seriously and so does pike. Being from the north mah hurt your chances at pike however. Hope this helps.

PIKE actually has a few guys from the north including New Jersey and Illinois. From what I remember beta had some northern guys. But they are mainly Texas and California. I don't think either really care where you are from as long as you play sports.

I know another kid from Rhode Island who's in PIKE and he said he loves it! Also heard beta has a sweet house too. Just looking for a good fit really and a fun time
