transfer rush

you’ll be fine

You'll likely be fine. Every house takes sophomores (in theory). The only house that doesn't do so on a regular basis is Kappa. However, I KNOW they've taken them in the past. There are certain houses that usually only take sophomores that they already know (Gphi, DG, AEPhi come to mind), but you certainly won't be discriminated against for your sophomore status like you would be at some other schools. I rushed as a sophomore and only 2 sororities didn't ask me back over the entire rush period (DG and SDT), but it didn't have anything to do with me being a sophomore. In my experience, upperclassmen who pledge tend to be more active in the sorority, so I personally love it when we have sophomores in our pledge class.

Going into rush as a sophomore you have to be more open minded towards all the houses. A lot of sophomore girls will go into rush with preconceived ideas about each sorority and get upset when they don’t get asked back to all the houses they want. In theory they all should take sophomores, but some house are more likely to take sophomores over others. I joined a house as a sophomore and was skeptical at first, but I absolutely loved it and advise any sophomore to give rush a try

i rushed as a soph and i say go for it! def keep an open mind bc like stated above some houses will prefer taking freshmen. reach out to anyone you already know in sororities at wisco bc they might be able to recommend u or talk u up during recruitment. u don't necessarily need rec letters but it'll help to make urself more memorable if some of the girls in a chapter already know who u are

Go forward, good members are active, they often Live in house, they take leadership positions within the house, they organize things, they are supportive and inclusive, and they go on dates with houses that they're paired up with. Bad members, give little to the organization, they're in it for themselves, they form small clicks, they do not include people, they do not live in the house, they do not take leadership positions, and often they are in long distance relationships which are really dead-end and empty. So whether you're a freshman, sophomore, or junior, join a house, if you want to participate and be a positive influence. But if you just intend to chop everybody else, don't do it
