rushing a sorority as a senior?? is it worth it?

by: rkna

So basically from what the subject title says, I'm wondering if it's worth rushing as a senior? Yeah it sounds ridiculous and I could hardly find any information on girls rushing as seniors on the internet so I'm asking for advice and opinions.
Currently I'm a junior at SDSU, I'll be turning 21 over winter break, and I heard very few SDSU sororities rush during spring so I was thinking is it worth to wait for fall and rush when I'm 21 and a senior? I know younger girls are heavily considered and I've seen some juniors successfully rush, but hardly, if any, seniors.

I'm interested in a sorority b/c as a commuter (live 20~ min from home w/ my parents) it's very hard to make friends and feel involved. I did take a look at the SDSU clubs and once tried to join one but it didn't work out. I'm primarily interested in joining a sorority rather than a club. I would feel very regretful to look back at my college experience and know I did nothing but drive to class and immediately go home and missed out on being in a sorority or having good friends. I'd love to make some girl friends and be involved. I have hardly made any real friends on campus (due to being a commuter & hardly spending time on campus) and my primary interest is to make friends. I'm not interested in partying, the stupid ranks, or any of that.

-----Basically, I'm almost 21, a junior, and a commuter. Probably sounds very unattractive for any sorority to consider but I'm thinking of maybe just going for it and seeing what happens. If I do decide to rush (very very unsure about it), I would be rushing alone so would like to know what that's like.

Any advice or comments would be helpful.
Thanks!

Honestly, I think you should consider rushing in spring. The sororities that rush in spring sound like a good fit for you (non-party, don't care about rank). Also, if you rush in spring you'll have longer to cement friendships before senior year. Just my opinion.

I rushed in spring as a 21 year old and I love my sorority. Had a rushed as a freshmen I probably would have been in a higher tier house, but I just don't care.

i would recommend going through recruitment if those are your reasons! wouldn't hurt to give the sororities that do spring recruitment a shot also. in the past i believe agd and dz have ususally done it and maybe theta? they may advertise it and if not you could try reaching out to them

I stalked their insta a bit and theta seems cool I'll keep those 3 in mind and be watching for spring recruitment. I think I'm gonna do it.

I would just join Delta Zeta or Alpha Gamma Delta this spring. If you are cool, you will probably get in, and be happy. They are both full of really nice girls, even though they aren't upper tier, and they aren't all super hot. Delta Zeta seems to have a lot of alumni in California and AGD has a lot all of the country, so you will still get the connections.

Try DZ or AGD. They will probably be taking girls next semester and they both have strong national reputations.
