Also like the other poster said it's not so much a rule as the fact that these houses are so popular that they have their pick of who they will take because people love them and rank them highly. And therefore these houses don't have to take sophomores because they can fill their quota with highly ranked (very wanted) freshmen. Even if you have strong connections inside the house it can be hard to overcome this. My recommendation is to be realistic about who will want you when you're not a first semester freshman. The houses that are going to COB in the spring are going to be the less popular ones from whom girls have dropped. And the houses that are going to actually be willing to give you a chance as a sophomore are also the less popular ones. You're not a special snowflake, not by any means. So set your sights to a realistic standard. Every house at Mizzou is great and will give you a chance to meet lifelong friends and participate in socials and philanthropy and have a sisterhood for life. The question is whether you actually want that. And whether you want what is realistic for you. Me? I'd rather be in the least popular house than be a GDI. I joined as a sophomore and I'm in what people on this site would consider a lower tier house and I have friends who are in a number of other chapters. We all have similar experiences and none of us would give up being Greek for anything. I feel so lucky that I have the most wonderful sisters
