sophomore rush

Bump

If you have friends in the houses, you have a good chance, if not you might get stuck in lower tier but that is often a good thing. I wouldn't say "family drama" It makes you sound crazy.

I rushed as a sophomore and got invited back to tons of top-mid tier houses! (If you care about any sort of "ranking"). So I would say that its not a problem at all. But also, so cliche, but TRUST THE SYSTEM, you'll end up where you fit best (:

everything matters more when you're rushing as a sophomore. the pool of girls rushing as upperclassmen is smaller, the upperclassmen in houses willing to take a little is a smaller group, and if you're not a transfer, people know you. Connections, involvement, and grades matter SO much because you've had a year to get adjusted to college life. Girls from your freshman dorm, classes, and at parties will know who you are, so it's a double edged sword - people can vouch for you, but they can also go against you. If they know what your family drama was, they can attest to you not dropping for a shallow reason.

So if you've used this year to maintain high grades, make genuine connections with girls in different chapters, and stay involved, you'll be great!
