Basically all the kids I've met at Ole Miss or who went to Ole Miss are from suburbs in Texas like The Woodlands, Cypress, Katy, Colleyville, Plano, Boerne, Cedar Park or Atlanta suburbs I know nothing about. Nice places to live and grow up but far from old money or anything like that.
If they had gone to Texas or A&M like most wanted they wouldn't be all about the super Old South and old money image, but I get they embrace it because it's part of the school culture.

The ideal and image they are desperate to project isn't about old money as much as it is about "old racism".
When "Ole Miss people" start talking about "Ole Miss people", they only mean white kids who are in the greek system. The Square is implicitly only for white people.
If there was any substantial amount of money at Ole Miss, yesterday or today, they wouldn't have one of the lowest endowments in the SEC. And their endowment number counts their medical school, just like their enrollment figures do.
By every measure, Ole Miss is one of the poorer institutions in the SEC. They're just desperate to not be perceived as such.
