transfer rush

If you are interested it's worth a try. You'll have to be incredibly proactive and probably have a little bit of luck, too. Transfers are so rare at W&L that this is uncharted territory for many.

Getting recs from sorority alumnae (they don't have to be W&L grads) for each house will help a little. If it is more important to you to be Greek than to be in a particular house, you will also improve your chances. Some of the chapters don't do many fall rush dates, so you're on more even ground with those houses than with the houses that already have a pretty good idea of who they want. And you won't have been on campus in the fall to have been "that girl" who has a bad rep. Hopefully you are poised, well-groomed, & have a great GPA so you make a good first impression. But @jaleo is right, there are seldom transfers, so who knows.
