dropping after getting a bid and rushing as a soph

If you want that chapter again, probably. But if not, then no. When you re-rush as a sophomore, you can opt to not visit that house during 22 party

It may. Chapters are often wary of a girl who can't commit. Who's to say you wouldn't take a spot and do the same thing next year?

If you do go this route, be prepared to make some huge changes over the next year. Get super involved, make friends with as many sorority members as you can, and be a standout example of the kind of girl every chapter should want to have. Most girls who rush twice get the same or worse results the second year so you'll need to really change up how you approach life at IU and recruitment.

I would avoid rushing as a sophomore because you usually get the same results as your freshman year and it might be another waste of time/money. Greek life might seem like it’s everything but there’s so much more to a college experience than going to frats and partying.

Why do you think your results would be any better as a sophomore?

honestly i rushed as a sophomore this year and got houses back that I loved. do not feel pressured to stay in one that you dont like. it's not worth it to pay and spend time/money in something that your heart isnt in. giving it a chance is the best thing that you can do, you might end up liking it!

I went through this exact same thing. Got a big from a chapter i wasn’t crazy about but tried it out for a week because i wanted to give it a chance, before dropping. Rushed again as a sophomore and got my dream chapter.

Rushing as a sophomore and getting back more houses you like is the exception not the rule. Check out informal options for what will be you last chance to go Greek for a year

Girls in my rush group were sophomores and for the ones who stayed thru to the end mostly got into lower middle to bottom tier houses but were just as happy. Definitely will be a great experience no matter the house or tier and is worth having an open mind.

I rushed last year and it was something I decided to do really last minute. I wasn't happy with the houses I had towards the 3rd round. I was trying to keep an open mind so i stayed until i got a bit. Unforchuantly I didn't really feel like I was at home with that house so I dropped before I was initiated. I know I am eligible to rush again my sophomore year and is something I want to do. I just want to know if it shows up that I had previously got a bid the year before to all the chapters when i rush again? I know that might look bad that I previously rushed .I really want to be in a sorority so any advice in rushing my second time.

Whoever said they weren’t asked if they were a sophomore except once is straight up lying lmao. The first thing they ask you after your name is if you’re a freshman or a sophomore. I’m not saying this is a negative thing or will make or break your rush but they ask every person whether they’re a freshman or a sophomore why they decided to rush so you can definitely jut not bring up you got a bid last year if you don’t want to (and I wouldn’t). Not sure if the other person misunderstood but you definitely get asked why you decided to rush or want to join a sorority at every house. If you’d gone through rush you’d remember getting asked these questions lol nothing too deep the first round usually. Most people say the sisterhood or my sister was in Greek life or something pretty basic when asked why they are rushing they aren’t looking for a last years rush sob story or anything like that. When you tell them you’re sophomore some people do ask if you rushed last year but I did not rush as a freshman and did as a sophomore so I don’t know really where they take it from there if your answer is that you did rush last year
