rushing as a sophomore

Some of them absolutely only want freshmen. Unless you are smoking hot, rich, and have a 4.0, you need to give EVERY house a chance. There are houses of every tier that cut upperclassmen, not just the top tier.

Sophomores do get bids, but I wouldn't get your heart set on top tier. Think about why you want top tier anyways? What do you really know about ALL the houses. If you go into it dead set on a couple of houses and get dropped, you might have missed out on an opportunity to go greek at another house you were truly meant to be in.

I know a girl who got into alpha phi as a sophomore last year.. honestly, you need connections... you should've spent your time as a sophomore befriending them!

Don't listen to the "you need connections." I'm happy to say that I rushed as a sophomore, and I preffed 2 top tier houses! If you are fun, smart and an outgoing girl, you have nothing to worry about during rush :)

Don't listen to anyone in this post except the girl above me! I rushed fall 13' and got into a top tier house (one of the few you named) and I'm absolutely in love! Oh, and I knew no one! RUSH RUSH RUSH!

Bump

DONT rush SDT. They are not top tier. And they suck.

It all comes down to personality! Girl you gotta stand out! It isn't impossible by any means, I know sophomores who got into both ADPi and Alpha Phi, SDT dropped them all last year but who knows if they will this year or not. I know ADPi took some abroad student who was a Junior last fall...
