Ole Miss has a very unique way of tailgating called Groving that's been passed down through the generations. People get to the outskirts of the Grove at 5 a.m. when security lets them in to set up their tent. There are some families that have been setting up their tents in the same spot for 20 years. In these tents are spreads of food, and some are decked out with satellite cable TVs to watch other games while everyone eats and waits for ours to begin.

A legacy is a term that applies to a student whose parents or grandparents went to Ole Miss. You'll meet a ton of them, and it's usually not just one member of their family that has gone there, but many or all of them. This really lends a lot of history.

Sure, every school has them, but none that I have ever heard of are like Ole Miss. There have been times when girls didn't get the sorority they wanted and would threaten suicide. They'd be put on suicide watch and have to sleep with their dorm door open with a guard posted outside. That's also why our rush has been moved back to later in the school year, because it used to be at the beginning of school, and when girls didn't get in the sorority they wanted, they would pack up and withdraw.
