recruitment as a sophomore

Yes it is definitely worth it. Depending on the house you join you may be a little uncomfortable with how they treat you though, by that I mean that I’ve seen some houses call their new PC “babies” (not in a mean way but in a “look at our new babies” kind of way). This would have really bothered me so the houses I talked to I made it clear that I was a sophomore and that I was not going to pretend like I was a freshman and like I hadn’t already been here a year. Honestly though I love the girls in my PC, if anything it has made me sad that I won’t be able to spend 4 years with them. There are other sophomores too, and in many ways you won’t notice the difference once you join a sorority, apart from maybe being able to give the freshmen some advice since you’ve already been here for a year.

Don’t be discouraged by the beginning of rush either; when I first saw the huge auditorium of girls and how nervous they looked I really questioned whether this was for me, the atmosphere of rush honestly made me feel too old and too serious haha (my first year weathered me a lot). But after getting a bid and being in a house for almost a year I can definitely say it was worth it. Hope this helps :)

yes you should still definitely do it! also, during recruitment you are not looked at in the same “pool” as the first years so you maybe have an easier time going through recruitment. also there are a LOT of girls who are second years who go through recruitment so it would not be weird at all.

there are actually a lot of girls who go through rush as a sophomore, so also remember that you’re not alone! ❤️ i met some super awesome pnms during recruitment who were sophomores or even older
