Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Greek life at Ole Miss isn’t just another organization—it’s a way of life. The Greeks on campus aren’t just partiers who go out all the time; they’re in all the clubs and religious organizations, on the Student Programming Board, and busy with volunteering and conducting fundraisers. They’re basically everywhere, and they’re involved all over campus and in the city. The parties are great, but they’re only a small part of Greek life. The majority of a Greek student’s time is spent on rush practice, meetings, committees, study hall, and volunteering. Most Greek organizations require each member to earn a certain amount of points each semester through service hours and attendance at campus-wide lectures. Each fraternity and sorority has different rules to abide by, but almost all have some sort of academic policy that you must sign.

If your parents are dubious about you joining one of these organizations, tell them about these positive aspects of the Greek system. If you’re even remotely thinking about going Greek, many students will tell you that it’s fun and you’ll meet tons of people. If you decide you’re not sure you want to commit to something that serious and time consuming, wait a year. You can always rush as a sophomore. Remember to be open-minded and don’t dislike people because they’re in a fraternity or a sorority—but don’t be friends with people just because they’re in one, either.

The Greek life is GREAT... If you're in it. If you aren't interested in going Greek this school ISN'T for you. It controls everything.

Greek life is big at Ole Miss. Greek students are usually viewed as stuck up and too into partying. However, many are laid back and just like to have a good time. Many are intelligent and are a big part in campus life such as the Associated Student Body. All greeks have housing available for their members.

The Ole Miss Tupelo Campus does not have any Greek clubs. However, if you want the Greek life, go to the actual Ole Miss campus in Oxford. There are TONS of Greek houses there. However, since I am only going to the extension campus, I cannot comment on this topic.
