rush as a second year
by: SecondYearI'm thinking about rushing again as a second year. I rushed last year and it didn't work out, but I definitely am going in with a new mindset. Are there certain sororities that don't take second years at all or are known for taking second years? Does having a lot of friends in one sorority affect your chances of getting in?

The system in place this year makes it a lot easier for second years to get asked back and get a bid from a sorority they want. They now hav quotas so sororities have to ask back and give bids to a set number based on the number of second years rushing. I rushed as a second year last year and it worked out so well. I felt a lot more prepared and less nervous about the process. And I obviously knew people and it wasn't a disadvantage all of the sorority where I had close friends I got asked back and from ones where I didn't know anyone. So just be yourself!

Hi!!! I have to agree with the person above. It's not encouraged that 2nd years rush, but it is so doubtful they will get into one!! That is why everyone suggests informal recruitment.t from someone who rushed as a 2nd year and got dropped......it was seriously just a waste of money and time.

Honestly it depends on the type of person. If you got dropped from almost everywhere first or second round it'll probably happen again. There are some girls though that genuinely fell through the cracks after house tours or during bids. Those people tend to do extremely well. I honestly prefer talking to second years at rush they're less nervous and more interesting. Also I'm in a middle tier sorority and we always have taken a lot of second years, and we loved others couldn't because we got some really cool girls. Most sororities do not just write off second years, it depends on their nationals rules.

It's tricky because the top tier sororitys don't do informal so girls who have dreams of being in a top tier but were dropped first year think they might have a chance by repeating formal. And they don't. For real. Waste of time and money. The sororitys who take second years during formal are the same ones who did informal with very few exceptions.

Just to be clear, you rushed first year and ended up dropping out? And you didn't feel awkward going back to houses that dropped you?
