Rushing a sorority as a sophomore?

by: thot

I’ll be a sophomore this fall at miz and I’m planning on doing formal recruitment. I didn’t do it as a freshman because I honestly at first believed it wasn’t for me but after being on campus for a while I’ve really broken out of my shell and decided that i’m definitely interested in sorority life. My question is, how is recruitment different for girls who are sophomores? Is it more difficult? Will houses be less interested in me because i’m a sophomore? Are there many other girls who rush as sophomores?? gimme the details! I have a 3.86 college GPA, 3.79 high school GPA, service hours, and a couple extracurriculars so I should be good there.

Every house takes sophomores my dear, and a lot of the middle to houses especially I’ve noticed. But you have a chance everywhere in theory. You have great college and HS grades and you’re involved. Just get recommendation letters for as many chapters as you can and I think you’re set for recruitment. Just let your authentic self shine, have fun, and BE OPEN MINDED. I’m sure you’ll find your home. One thing I want to mention is don’t let getting cut by a house you liked bring you down, because every girl goes through it. Not a ton of people get invited back to every single house they ranked. Since you’ve been around campus you’re likely already aware of reputations and are friends with girls in certain houses, but don’t let that dictate your whole experience. Sometimes friends could put in a good word about you but ultimately it comes down to the girls you have conversations with. Good luck, can’t wait for you to be Greek, and maybe even my sister!!

While every house takes sophomores, it seems the top houses just take a few. The good thing about sophomores going through recruitment with a high GPA is that houses know you won't be a grade risk and that's a plus. The not-so-good thing is that once you join you will be hanging out with freshmen, some of whom are really immature and clueless. I would aim for a house with a high GPA because they have figured out how to recruit people who likely won't flunk out. Houses with lower GPAs are constantly COBing and membership is like a revolving door. The sisterhood suffers, too. But once you find a house where you are comfortable and has the same standards you do, make an effort to hang around the house with other sophomores after you've joined, because that's your peer group. Good luck!

I agree. I joined as a sophomore and my bid day buddy turned big brought me into her friend group from her pledge class and from that i’m really in tune with the girls my age. However its also wise to make a few good friends from the pledge class you joined because if you live in house those girls will be who you’re living with! My friends who were freshman weren’t my main group but I love them. They’re readily available to come with me to a frat if I was in the mood, and they swipe you into the dining halls haha. I’m so excited to be rooming with them this coming year.
