in-state vs out-of-state
by: Let's settle this
Sororities have 400-500 girls in them and Ole Miss is almost 50% OOS. Sororities are filled with OOS girls. ALL OF THEM!! Top, middle, bottom... they all have in-state and OOS girls. So girls from OOS, don't be discouraged. You can get a bid just as easily as girls from MS. You both need connections, good grades, involvement, recs, and a good personality! There are a lot of reasons why a house would drop you, zip code is not one of them.
A house won't be like "OMG, this girl is awesome! Has connections, a great rec letter, and a pretty good GPA! I think she'll be perfect for our chapter...! Oh wait...she's from Colorado (i just picked a state, it doesn't matter)? Oh well that's a shame... Drop!"
Go into rush with your head high!

Reason in state and southern girls typically have better rushes is connections. A girl from California isn't going to have as many connections as a girl from Atlanta, Georgia. The girl from Atlanta probably knows older girls from her hs who go to ole miss, there are ole miss alumni in her town, and she probably has been to an ole miss game or two. That's how she makes connections. The girl from California likely knows no one who goes to ole miss. Location makes a difference

MS and girls from southern states (AL, TN, GA, TX) do better DUE TO CONNECTIONS. Not because they're from MS or the south. Being from the south doesn't make you better. It just means that generally, you have more connections. Like someone else said, you probably know sorority actives from your hometown, alumni from your hometown, and have probably been to games. It's all about who you know.
#5by: totally agree
Tired of seeing middle and bottom tier soroities and fraternities using the in state out of state excuse as a reason to put down houses. All houses have in and oos members!
btw..Ole Miss IS a state school located in the State of Mississippi..so yes, there will be a large number of Mississippi students as members of top tier houses. Just like Alabama has bama members, Texas has Texas members..etc.
