sophomore rushing

Because you are a sophomore you will get cut from some chapters that might have taken you if u rushed as a freshman. Theres like a lot of sophomores rushing and top 3 will take 1-2 maybe, next four gonna take probs 3-4 max so that leaves a lot left over for next 2. People will be disappointed at their lack of options. It is hard to rush as a sophomore no matter how great you are. If u are actually interested in joining greek life you should keep an open mind and your options open till the end, if you go in thinking if im not this one or that one you wont get those and will be pissed.

If your a sophomore it is hard to get in, and yes chapters will mass cut a lot of the sophomores early on because they want mosty freshman and the sophomores they accept will have multiple active members talking them up and speaking on their behalf to their chapter since they are friends and know them well. That being said if you are a sophomore do not get discouraged from rushing, chances are a chapter already has their eye on you and you have friends in the chapter. If you never rushed before or transferred it is a different game than if you rushed last year and got cut by the chapters ur now trying to join

For sorority rush if you stay in the process till the end, im pretty sure like 99% of people will receive a bid from a chapter. However, many people suicide bid (two options left only want one and say they would never join the second so when they rank their 1 & 2 they leave 2nd blank, theres a professional who talks w ever girl before they submit) and their one option doesnt come thru and they end up w no one or people drop the process unsatisfied w the choices they have left bc they went in with preconcieved notions. If you rush and have at least one left going into later rounds and stay in it till end you will end up w a bid and a chance to join the greek life community.

Yeah. I wouldn't be able to tell you the exact statistic, but from what I remember in previous years I would guess that only about half (or fewer) of the sophomores who rush seem to end up accepting a bid. I'm sure some also voluntarily drop out of recruitment bc they don't like the limited selection of chapters they're left with. Like someone mentioned above, each chapter probably accepts on average like 2-4 new sophomores, so obviously that's not a ton of available spots.

And follow up: yeah like the person above mentioned, if you manage to make it to the last day of rush (pref day) and have one chapter left, you are guaranteed to receive a bid to that chapter. You can only be cut after pref day if you have two chapters left and then suicide bid only one of them, so definitely don't do that.
