Considering Transferring to Ole Miss

Rush, meet the guys in your pledge class. If you like them and think you could make life long friends out of it, stay in. If you don't like them and they're a bunch of stuck up pricks. Drop out.

Ole Miss can be a lot of fun whether or not you join a fraternity. I didn't rush but my 3 roommates were in 3 different fraternities. Like has been said, just because you rush doesn't mean you have to accept a bid. Some guys will stop hangin with pre-rush friends but it is mostly because of all the mandatory events and the process than it is a deliberate shunning. Just be true to yourself and your friends and you will be fine.

Just don't wear cargo shorts.

I lol'd

I was in a fraternity for the first two years at ole miss made a bunch of friends, lived in the house, drank underage, banged lots of sorrority sloots (kappas) then dropped my fraternity and explored drugs my last two years. I highly recommend it.

I guess I was the only bro in a fraternity all four years here. I enjoyed it and had a great time. A fraternity is a great way to establish a connection with people and a easy introduction when you meet people at the square. TBH there are stand up guys and douchebags/tools in each and every fraternity. That will happen though when you get a group of 100+ guys no matter where you go.

There are 20k people, unless you went to every one of their high schools it's not 13th grade. I've never understood that expression.

Only a few douchebags worship their fraternity after freshman/sophomore year. By that point, you will have developed a tight circle of friends and do your own thing. A lot of people mature their junior year and don't really care to be around a bunch of 18-19 year olds shotgunning beers at lunch, and embarrassing themselves while making a poor attempt at getting laid. Jk, you'll still do that, but just do it with the guys you've become close with. I was an active for all four years, but not serious the last two. The only guys who were super serious were more occupied with fluffing their resume as "Delta Tau Chi President and VP of Alumni Relations". Trust me, none of that shite means dick on a resume if you want a decent job. Those guys are now all proud of themselves working 12 hours a day in accounting for some shite firm and leading miserable lives from their cubicle.

Anyway, I can't stress enough to go through rush. All my friends who graduated and were GDI's tell me that was one of their biggest regrets. It forces you into social situations and gives you a great opportunity to meet a good group of friends (and of course, to get laid). Every fraternity has internal cliques. There will be a big group of douche bags in every large group, but there's usually a pretty solid group of good guys too. You don't have to think of it as a lifelong commitment, just take advantage of the good and go with it. There's absolutely no down side to giving it a shot. If it's truly not for you, then just quit.

Also, don't be that guy who only hangs out with kids from their high school. I always feel bad for those poor souls. I went to my ten year HS reunion recently and saw 15 guys married to the first prude bitch who let them get their dilly wet. Not to mention the same group of guy friends who make up this big incestual circle. Between the time they were in middle school until senior year, they all dated each others girlfriends who are now their wives. How fricking weird is that? Knowing your best friends and groomsmen all finger blasted your wife in middle school? Pass. It's just sad. They missed out on so many experiences, both good and bad.

Tldr: Go to Ole Miss, rush, take it or leave it, have fun, and meet new people.

Is the OP a four or five star? Do you play offensive lineman, or can you coach the offensive line?
