Please keep in mind that she will be rushing with hundreds of girls who were all super-involved in high schol and civic activities and who may have GPA's that are much higher than 2.9.

Well, my GLO requires a 3.0 nationally and individual chapters can raise that if they want to...I believe at Auburn they require a 3.2....BUT, I know a girl personally who went through at Ole Miss last year with less than a 3.0, she wasn't a legacy but did know some girls in a particular group and she did get a bid and loves it. So while having that low of a gpa is not a particularly good thing, it may not be all that bad, especially if she keeps her options OPEN!!!!

I sent you a pm

Do you know which sororities at Ole Miss publish that a PNM needs to have a 3.0 or better? Will they cut her before she has to narrow down her choices? My college did not allow sorrorities so all of this is new to me. She has rec's for all and is a legacy through her grandmother for one but I realize that only helps a little.

Thanks to all who took the time to enlighten me. I really appreciate all the private message that were sent. I am not going to let my daughter know that I am concerned. What is meant to be will be! I do have one further question. Do most mother's come to Oxford the night the bids go out?

I went, and there were a lot of them there, but it isn't like Alabama where they feed everybody and if I were doing it again I would stay home--the girls are tied up getting pictures made, then they leave and go somewhere! However, if you have never seen a bid day and want to go just to see one, it is quite an experience! Just don't think you will spend much time with your daughter!

There are alot of moms there. Two years ago when my daughter was a sophomore we went to a game the week before rush started and the number of moms trying to find a hotel for bid day was very high.

OleMissGlitter · #54 09-04-2007, 02:29 PM

Parents, sisters, aunts, grandparents, all come to Bid Day. There will also be lots of alumnae there as well.

My Mom didn't come the weekend bids went out because she knew that we would be so busy hanging out with all our new sisters. I can't remember if she came to the house for rush or not. For some reason I think she skipped that year because she was a nervous as I was!

In any case, she came down like the weekend after rush to bring me all the goodies she had been hording over the years! It was hilarious!

I would like to say "Thank You" to all the members of this forum that took the time to enlighten me and who sent PM's on Ole Miss Rush. I am happy to post that she was not cut by 75% on round one like one member posted would probably happen, she was only released by two. She went to six skit parties Friday night and had three prefs for Saturday. She received a bid yesterday from her favorite. I am posting this to let other girls know that Ole Miss is competitive but it is not impossible.

So...where did she pledge???

lilzetakitten · #58 10-01-2007, 11:50 PM

In her recruitment thread, she said she joined Kappa Alpha Theta.

Low C Sharp · #59 10-02-2007, 12:31 AM

Hottytoddychick pledged Theta...but I don't think Ole Miss Mom told us where her daughter ended up.

Congratulations wherever it may be.

My daughter pledged AOPi and is very happy. She really had a tough time deciding because she really liked them all but she felt more of a connection with the AOPi's.
