moving away and scared

I did not post that but I did go orientation by myself. There were a few other people who went alone as well which suprised me.
My main worry is that I am not going to make any close friends. Im scared that everyone will already have their groups of friends and I will just be the odd girl out. I have been that my whole life and I will be so depressed if college is like that too.

This is why I don't care about tiers, i just want a close sisterhood to make these feelings go away.

I've been that odd girl out my whole life as well. I came to Ole Miss with high expectations as well. Because of connections, (and a good resume, gpa, and looks) I landed in a top tier sorority. IT WAS HARD! On bid day I only knew a few girls from my floor and wasn't friends with any of them. I knew tons of sophomores, but after bid day, they no longer stalk you and call you every five minutes; and you are left with your pledge class. IT IS HARD! I didn't make instant best friends, but I made instant okay friends.

I pledged two years ago and I would love to say that I have all my bridesmaid's picked out, but that is not the case! I do however, have a group of girls that I can and do hang out with, even if I feel like the odd man out.

I have no idea why you chose Ole Miss so far away from home. Just like in your hometown, fitting in is hard work! But I'm sure you will find a group of girls you feel comfortable enough with to have some fun! Swaps are fun! Date parties are fun! Movie nights are fun! Meals at the house are fun! Running into your pledge sisters in the airport while you are waiting to go home over Thanksgiving is fun! Hanging out in the Grove is fun!

Trust me, you will have a blast! Be realistic about making friends. Some friends are put in your life for a lifetime, others for just a short period of time!

just wondering, why are you surprised I chose Ole Miss?

They have a lot of out-of-state students which comforts me a little bit more because I know I am not the only person who is going to feel this way.

You will be encourage to bond with your pledge class. New members can't even go into a chapter meeting (or even the chapter room) until after you are initiated. You will have pledge meetings, pledge retreats, pledge activities... You will get a big sister, a sophomore, and she will be there, but no, we don't just hang out in big groups of mixed grades. Your big will be randomly chosen, neither of you will get much of a say. Some houses let you give them a list of who you would prefer to be your big, but that's not guaranteed. You will see the older girls at swaps and in the dining room, but no, their cliques and routines have already been established.

I am not from Mississippi. I am from two states away.

no matter where you go to school, just follow your heart.
If you want this, you got this girl! You will find likeminded people.
If you come across people and y'all don't click, that is completely OKAY! There are so many other people you can be friends with. Like one of the posters said, I think you will become close with someone who also came from far away. You will have your pledge class for the sorority you join. You can join another club on campus.

You need to be yourself out there and things will get easier in time. So, yes it is going to be hard but you are becoming an adult now. I am not gonna sit here and tell you it is gonna be easy because it isn't. This is life and you just gotta roll with it. College is your time to find yourself, your friends, your passions and go after your dreams.

I wish you the best, and I hope you find a wonderful house of girls click with during rush. Keep your head up.
