The Rebels started off Southeastern Conference play in dominating fashion as they traveled to Nashville Saturday and defeated reeling Vanderbilt 41-3. It was a complete display of power on both sides of the ball for the Rebels, as the lopsided victory was the largest margin of victory in an SEC contest since Ole Miss defeated Mississippi State 48-0 in 2008. The history between the two schools has pointed in the Commodores favor lately. Vanderbilt has won six of the past nine meetings before the game Saturday. Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze was pleased to say the least with his teams’ complete effort. “Excited to get a road SEC win. Thought our kids played a pretty solid game. I thought Bo (Wallace) managed us really well,” Freeze said. “He made two decisions that he’ll probably look at the film and say ‘Man, I should’ve done something different.’ But I thought he played really solid.” In the first win against

Alpha Delta Pi sisters, members of the International Alpha Delta Pi Grand Council, and family members gathered Saturday morning at the site of the future house to celebrate the beginning of construction on the first new sorority house on the Ole Miss campus since the 1970’s. “It is more than a dream come true, it is an obsession satisfied,” said by Alpha Delta Pi International Vice President of Collegiate Membership Stacy DeMartini Brunton during her opening speech at the groundbreaking for the new Alpha Delta Pi sorority house, located at 607 Rebel Drive.
The groundbreaking event consisted of speeches by several Ole Miss Greek board members and Alpha Delta Pi International board members. Representatives of Hug & Associates, LLC, the architecture firm designing the house, and contractor Genoa Construction Company, were also present. “This house will be a tangible representation of the sisterhood that has brought us together,” said Kelly Rist, Ole Miss Alpha Delta Pi chapter president, during her speech at the groundbreaking. The event concluded with a ceremonial “breaking ground” by shoveling dirt from the construction site, and a releasing of balloons in Alpha Delta Pi’s blue and
white colors. Architecture firm Hug & Associates, LLC, has designed Greek housing at several other universities, including the house for the Epsilon Eta chapter of Alpha Delta Pi at Mississippi State University. Genoa Construction Company also has previous ties to Alpha Delta Pi, as it is responsible for the Beta Epsilon chapter house at the University of South Carolina, as well as Alpha Delta Pi’s national headquarters in Atlanta. The 18,790 square foot will contain several parlor areas and bathroom suites, a study room, a sitting room, commercial kitchen, laundry facilities, a chapter and dining room, and a suite for the residence house director.
