University of Mississippi Top Questions

Greek system, hands down, most popular. The girls leave their doors open to socialize, while inside of couse. Football, basketball, and baseball season are the most popular atheletics. I met my friends in class, in my sorority, fraternity parties, bars, out and about. If i'm awake late, im probably procrastinating on facebook. People party mostly thursdays, fridays, and saturdays. A sober Saturday night includes dinner, maybe a movie, staying in.

See above paragraph.

I met my closes girl friends through my sorority and the honors college, and a most of my guy friends through my classes and fraternities. I am very involved with the Ole Miss Ad Club, a young advertising club on campus, and my sorority.

Ole Miss students love two things- Sports and Partying. These two often are blended together as well. Part of the fun of football games is the revelry in The Grove, and at baseball games students are allowed to bring coolers.

Sororities and fraternities are BIG on the Ole Miss campus. If you're not part of one, you feel like you're missing out. I recently pledge Omega Phi Alpha, which is a service sorority. Unlike social sororities, OPhiA does not have a house on campus, and it does not host huge parties. The main function of OPhiA is service. We complete projects for each of four service areas: the university community, the community-at-large, the members of the sorority and the nations of the world. For me, it was the perfect alternative to joining a social sorority. OPhiA provides friendship and fellowship while promoting service and allowing girls to become leaders in the organization. I met one of my good friends at transfer orientation, and thank goodness I did or neither of us would have survived the first semester! I met another friend in a class on Greek civilization, and we bonded over the horrendousness of the course. I've met other friends in class, at work and through organizations I'm involved in. There's a place in Oxford called the Square. It's full of clubs, shops and restaurants and is the place to be Thursday through Saturday night. I don't go there a lot, but I've had fun the times I have gone out.

Wow. Social life at Ole Miss... so much to say. People do "go out" a lot at Ole Miss, but you're definitely not going to be left out if you don't. As I said before, you can find any type of person at Ole Miss, but honestly, most people do seem to be the partying type. Tailgating in the Grove before home football games is one of the most fun experiences a student here can have. Sororities and fraternities are important here, but I've had positive experiences as both an independent and a sorority member. There are lots of things to do off campus that involve either drinking or non-drinking... there are definitely lots of great bars around, but there are other things to do. They have amazing restaurants and stores on the square. Thacker Mountain Radio is held every Thursday at Offsquare Books, and it's great. There are tons of things to do in Oxford.

The most popular organization at Ole Miss is the Greek organization. There is a mentality of "Go Greek, or Die!" amongst the student body. The shopping and dining in Oxford, particularly concentrated on The Square, is considered fine and high-end. This attributes to the fact that most of the student body is of high socio-economic background. One better be prepared with Daddy's credit card!
