well

so actives aren't allowed to make friends with PNMs anymore until rush week?
I was hoping to meet more actives when school starts and hang out with them :(

We can hang out with girls we already know. We just can initiate contact with girls we don't already know. If you are in our classes, we can study together. If we see you in bars, we can talk to you, we just can't send you friend requests.

Most freshmen hang out with other freshmen in large groups. It's fun. Don't put too much hope into meeting and becoming besties with actives.

We are scared of being fined.

So when we move for the fall and you meet someone, say, at the union or wherever, you cant make plans, be friends on social media, or text until after rush week? Its only if they see you in class or at the bars?
and that is to prevent dirrty rushing?
im asking bc I don't wanna put any of the actives in an awkward position or get them in trouble.

If you run into someone in one of your classes or when you're going out and you meet and talk for a few minutes, can you follow each other on social media after that?

well there are a handful of girls who are out of state and don't know anyone at Ole Miss. it is kind of hard to make connections for some girls.

Being from OOS is not a real good excuse. More than 50% of the girls in most sororities are from OOS. The only exception is xo.

I'm from 800 miles away and still managed to meet girls just fine the spring before freshman year.

Like it's been said 10000000 times. It's all about connections. Don't underestimate the power of alumni. There are rebel clubs in just about every major and some not so major cities across the nation.

Well how exactly did you meet girls in the spring?

A lot of girls seem to be confused on how to get connections prior to the school year, so your advice is greatly appreciated :)

It's really easy. There are literally alumni everywhere!

My dad had a coworker who was an ole miss alumni. He introduced me to his niece who was a Tri Delt. I went up and stayed with his niece in the spring.

My moms best friend had a sister who was a chi o at ole miss. She introduced me to actives and I had lunch with them while I was up visiting in the spring with the Tri delts.

The lady who helped me put together my rush packets was a KD. I took a second trip to Oxford after she introduced me to girls in KD.

All three if these connections introduced me to ladies in other sororities. I met a few phi mus and an aopi.

My cousins neighbor who attended ole miss wrote my KD rec. it's so easy! Ole miss alumni are everywhere! And so happy to help!

It's called networking and it works!

I live two states away and the distance never stopped me. You just have to start putting your feelers out. It also helps if your parents do the same! Leave no stone unturned.

Oh yeah, I also posted my acceptance letter on Facebook and so did my mom. You would be surprised how many people messages me offering help.

Everybody knows somebody who attended ole miss!
