transferring and rushing a sorority

by: pt

I am transferring for next fall. I'll be a junior. UW has a lot of junior transfers; do a lot of them rush? Is there any chance I would get a bid to any house as a junior? Would I be the only new junior in that sorority? I want to be in a sorority, but I don't want to be forced to hang out with only freshman because I feel I would not have that much in common with them.

Also, how prevalent is greek life on campus? At my current school only 18-20% of people are in greek life, but it has a really huge presence. Almost everyone who likes to go out is in greek life. I wish I had joined greek life here. It just didn't work out though. Also, people here are really critical of other sororities/fraternities. (For example, girls won't mix with certain frats because they don't think they're "cool enough.")
Is that how it is at UW? From the people I know who go there, I'd say no. UW seems friendlier and more fun than the average school. I just don't want to transfer and be alone with nothing to do.

Definitely try! I know a lot of transfers that went through recruitment with me who were successful in getting a bid, and I also know that there is going to be a new sorority colonizing next fall, which means that they are offering more bids to upperclassmen if they choose to be in the colony.

So do upperclassmen who join have to do all the same stuff as freshmen? I get that they'd have to do stuff like the education where new members learn about the sorority's history and stuff, but do they have to do study hours?
