This is so true. Coming from a girl that is in a sorority that is well sought after here, I would challenge you not just to join a sorority if you deep down do not feel its a really good fit for you. Just because you are in a "top" house does not mean that it is a good fit for you. I am not against sororities by any means, but if you are interested in rushing, make sure that you go out and meet people but stay on your p's and q's, keep your gpa as high as possible (think at least 3.2-3.25), and get involved in campus organizations before you rush. Best of luck!

A few heads up about rush~~ .
Theta and zeta are the ones who tend to dirty rush. Beware -- they tend to rush hard, put on VERY good performances and girls on, and then bid promise/ not give bids once prefed. Don't think you're secure in either on pref night. These two tend to be very competitive.
KD tend to be a little more reliable, they don't take their rush as seriously as the other 2. They tend to be a little more laid back and do not rush girls quite as hard beforehand. They tend to be on probation more because they don't take things as serious but better that than lead girls on too much. Things seemed to be tough because of national stuff this year but all that aside they are not quite as intense in recruitment weekend as theta and zeta.

Anyone can get a bid to tri delta. Count on that

In terms of tiers most people can agree that DDD is still building and not as strong as the other 3 it's personal opinion about whether KAT/ ZTA / KD is the strongest. In my opinion ZTA did the best this year with Theta and KD not far behind them (KD really struggled this spring) but all 3 are great and have their strengths. And the order really changes every year and you can't say ones much better than the other. Theta tends to be very involved think student gov/ admissions/ orientation staff / award winner girls), zeta tends to be very social, pretty and athletic, and KD tends to be sweet/ approachable.

Again from what I've experienced be really careful with the intentions of sororities. Try really hard to see if the group is a good fit for YOU and they don't just want you for your grades or what sports team you are on or what you provide for them. Wofford is such a great school and if Greek life fits you, great, but you can still be super involved on campus if it's not for you! Best of luck and do not let the idea of recruitment dictate your freshman year! Everyone is so happy that all of you are coming this fall!
