connections

It would be way too late to consider them a connection.
Oos girls have no problem making connections. It's called networking.

I'm oos and didn't know a sole at ole miss at the beginning of my senior year in high school. I networked my a s s off and ended up with connections in many houses. Had three invited to spring parties and a great rush.

Girls, please stop using your oos status as an excuse as to why you didn't put in the work your senior year.

Basically, in Chi O, DDD, and KD you need to have strong connections that were made prior to starting at Ole Miss. DG definitely helps to have connections, but if your GPA is high enough and you're competitive then you can use new connections. Kappa will take you if you're pretty with decent grades regardless of connections if you're from Texas. If you've ever been in a pageant, you're on Phi Mu's list even if you don't know it. The others are manageable without connections.

If DDD or Chi O active members have not already reached out to you for a pre-game, lunch date ( prior to new rules), then the chances of you making it back past first round are pretty slim. Yes, it stinks that great out of state girls slip through the cracks of top houses, but there are so many great in state girls with connections that there just simply aren't enough numbers to give girls without connections much hope. On the flip side, if you've been to a pregame or lunch date, you are likely SOMEWHERE on their list even if you're OOS. So if these houses interest you, Rush week will be your time to REALLY express your interest and turn on the charm.

KD is difficult without connections as well, but for some reason their alumni don't seem quite as passionate about PMN's as DDD and XO's are so it is generally easier for outgoing, SUPER competitive, cheerleader types from OOS to get invited back.

DG is also controlled largely by Alumni, and is a great house, but the amount of PMN's "wanting" DG isn't as high as the previous three mentioned as of late, so it is more likely OOS girls will be invited back if they have outstanding GPA and activities even if their connections are limited.

Kappa used to be a relatively safe place for pretty OOS girls with no connections to land. However, after enduring a few years of wilder than average pledge classes, they have made a strong and successful effort to clean up their image. They've become much stricter on grade risks!

Only if they like you enough to try to stand up for you

Some sororities have alums choose the new members lol
