my GF has left me for another guy from this state, she says she has more in common with him.
Take it from a native "Miss'ippian;" you're better off without her. As many beautiful girls as there are in my home state, more than a handful are "Flat Earth Society" material. In most of their minds the entire world extends from Memphis to New Orleans, with a big river on the western boundary. The world stops over near Alabama somewhere on the east. Oh, and there is a distant far off land somewhere called "Florida." Don't expect her to find it on a map, though.
Oxford is a tres cool town, plenty of places to hang out and meet another gal. I know it's easy to concentrate on the negative but once your world starts returning to normal you might want to spend some time in City Grocery, Proud Larry's, the Gin, etc. The square can be a lot of fun.
As far as girls, yeah, the sorority types can be a bit tough to get to know but they ain't the only game in town. Plenty of nice, sweet girls runnin' around.
Sounds like you're gonna make some good connections in Memphis, too. Give it some time, you'll end up having fun.
Best of luck!
P.S. Once you get that private finished up there are fewer cool things than casually mentioning to a young lady that if she's interested you'd be willing to take her flying. If her hometown is nearby, say Batesville or New Albany, she'd probably get a thrill out of checking it out.
