oos student rushing

by:    

I am applying to a UVA ED and it is by far my first choice. I am very interested in the Greek scene but I am concerned as I am an OOS student with no contacts at UVA. In our SEC town pledge classes are filled over the summer based on high school connections. Is this true for UVA too?

No you definitely have an equal shot of getting in to a sorority! Since UVA has formal recruitment in the spring, you have plenty of time to meet girls in clubs and social outings. I think it's still competitive but not as crazy as SEC schools. It doesn't hurt to have connections either.

It definitely isn't as competitive at UVA as SEC schools, but going through rush as an OOS student is a little different (from experience). Connections are a big part of rush and it's probably less likely that you can use a connection from high school to help you get into a sorority....unless you went to a northern private school, in which case Theta is for you

What is it like for guys trying to join a fraternity OOS without any connections?

For fraternities; out of state dudes run the social scene here. This is not as true with sororities, though I would still say it's an accurate statement. You really don't have anything to worry about, just make sure you go to what frat parties you can early on and there you go.

idk if you are a guy or a girl but no. A lot of people don't have many connections before they arrive. It often does help get a foot in the door being invited to social events but you will be fine

You may not get into one of the top sororities without connections but you will certainly get into A sorority. Just use your first semester to meet people and attend events. One of the benefits of having spring rush, especially benefits OOS students who may not know anyone. Good luck!
