Crosby Hall, the largest girls dorm at the Univeristy of Mississippi.
The University of Mississippi’s enrollment is growing each year, more and more students are deciding to become a Rebel. This is great for the school, but for some current students the growth is causing a problem. It is usually an option for sophomore sorority girls to be able to live in the dorm Crosby Hall on a floor with their pledge class sisters. With the amount of incoming freshmen enrolled for the 2014-2015 school year, the upcoming sophomores were notified in January that Crosby was no longer an option for them. With next years freshman class being the biggest Ole Miss has had thus far, Crosby will be needed to house incoming freshman girls instead.
This came as quite a disadvantage
for all the girls who were planning on living in Crosby next year. At such
short notice, sororities were going crazy trying to find housing for their
girls.
I interviewed freshman member of
Delta Gamma, Danielle Zasoski, to get her opinions of the growth Ole Miss is
receiving and how she feels about not being able to live in Crosby next year.
“I feel like the growth is unnecessary. There’s not enough room on campus for
all the new students. It seems to me like Ole Miss is just looking for more
money,
and not taking into consideration there really isn’t enough space for everyone. I was super excited to live in Crosby next year and have the opportunity to really bond, hangout, and live with my sisters in one place. It was really stressful to try and find housing at such late notice. It wasn’t like it was just the freshmen in my sorority looking for housing for next year; it was all the freshmen in each sorority who were planning to live in Crosby. It was like a competition all the sororities were trying to take over places, and we also had to compete with all the other people looking for housing, which was difficult because a lot of spots were filled up already because we found out about Crosby in January! I wish they had given us more notice. I will miss living on campus next year, I am not looking forward to driving to all my classes.”

The growth at Ole Miss is indeed a
good thing for the school, the school is getting a lot of recognition and
accolades, but for some students the big growth just isn’t what they wanted
when they chose to come to the school.
