Sophomore rush
by: QuestionAny real advice for rushing as a soph with little to no connections? I’m acquainted with a few girls from different houses but feel like it’s not enough, since I barely know them. I don’t really care about rank stuff and just want to find a house I feel like if click with. I really like Aphi but I’ve heard rushing as a soph is also harder in many ways, as sororities don’t have to meet a minimum and can take however many (or little) they want. How do I stand out at this point, and what should I keep in mind?

You are not understanding the Quota system. This is actually to your advantage. Quota is the maximum number a sorority can take, not a required minimum. There is a separate pool for upperclassmen pnm's so that you don't have to compete with freshmen for spots and are considered under your own separate Quota. Your quota is much smaller because the numbers of older pnm's rushing are much smaller but it's all in proportion. You will stand on your own merit, just like any other pnm, without being at a disadvantage for not being a freshman.
You really need to contact members you know in sororities. You would be surprised how barely knowing sorority members can actually help an upperclassman during recruitment IF you capitalize on it now. You need to reach out to those members and let them know you are coming through rush and are interested in their house. It will help you stand out and there is no disadvantage to doing this, other than you feeling awkward, but hey, this is recruitment and you need to step up your game here and get on their radar now. Remember they can't read your mind so you need to tell them you're interested.

Then just tell them "Hey, I just want to let you know that I'm going through recruitment and can't wait to see y'all."

Can you summarize what you’re talking about? I’d like to know what was said if it was valid

Rushing as sophomore means you can bypass being tied to girls you don’t respect
A lot of sophs end up in different house than they expected to if had pledged straight from high school- They get on campus and see the personalities and reputations as they truly are versus sticking with who they thought was going to be cool and the sheep mentality that comes with high school cliques
It’s a lot easier to think a girl from a different city is awesome until you get to campus and realize her goal is to sleep with as many frat guys as possible hoping to get lil sis or OU date

Oh ok thank u sm for the advice. however, wouldn’t it be bad to tell a girl that I’m interested in their house? I heard that houses talk, and I don’t want to get cut from certain houses because I was in conversation with another. Would that reflect badly on me?
