I'm still confused. You transferred from a community college to A&M, now you're going to transfer again?

I feel like you should focus on finding a school and getting an education rather than jumping schools each year.

Is it possible to "dirty rush" at informal? It seems to me that most schools have very few rules for COB/COR? Please forgive me if COB and COR are not the same thing,

She was at a school called Blinn last year. Blinn is basically a feeder community college for A&M. Students who attend Blinn & make a certain GPA are then guaranteed acceptance to A&M. The standard plan for Blinn students is to transfer after 1 or 2 years. This second transfer.... no idea about that one.

Okay, I'll just delete this post then since it's causing such stuff due to the fact I was at a community college first and I accidentally miss used a word. I was looking for some supportive words.

Ditto. Sorority sisterhood isn't meant for everyone. You wanted to be chosen, you were chosen, and now you want to back out. So do it. It's not a big deal if you do it with class and dignity.

Not sure what you want in terms of supportive words. You're going to be a JUNIOR at your next school. That will significantly reduce your chances of getting a bid.

Go back to the drawing board. Make a list of pros and cons. Then YOU decide.

OP said she will be a sophomore in the fall.

aggiegirl15 02-24-2014 11:48 PM

i will still be a sophomore with hours.

AZTheta 02-24-2014 11:51 PM

Thanks irishpipes. OP:yet it's your third year in school, but you started early. Okay. Whatever.

Just work on your pros and cons list.

Don't go off in a flounce. It's just that you have confused us.

Did you transfer to TAMU after one semester at the cc?

Are you currently at TAMU?

Did you join a TAMU sorority chapter this semester?

Have you been initiated yet?

Will you be attending a different college Fall 2014?

Does this new college have a chapter of the sorority you are a new member of?

Do you know how difficult it is for an out of state sophomore student to have a successful recruitment at this new college?

Things will be clearer if you answer these questions, and we may be able to offer some guidance at that point.

You need to consider a lot of pros and cons of different things.

1) How competitive is rush at your next school? If your new school is "known" as a place where only freshman stand a chance you need to face the fact that you will have a challenging rush. If it's the type of school where sophomores, juniors, transfers are frequently given bids then you're chances are improved but not guaranteed.
2) How attached are you to the current sorority? Are you already 110% ABC for life!?!
3) How would you feel to be at your next school and end up not greek? Either you rush and don't get a bid or for some reason don't rush at all.
4) How would you feel to be at your next school and be a sister of ABC but not participating in greek life? You don't affiliate, don't participate in any activities. You're greek but you're not.
5) How important is it to you to lock in alumnae status with your current group?
6) How would you feel if you initiate but then do not like the girls at the new chapter? Or you like them but for whatever reason they don't let you affiliate?

Based on what little you've shared, and please don't over share, I think you should not initiate and start over with Fall recruitment (assuming it's not deferred) at your new school.

I am confused as well. I thought the OP was still in her first year - fall semester at community college and spring semester at TAMU.

As a person who transferred to a school that did not have a chapter of my sorority, I can empathize with collegians in this situation. OP, do you know to which school you will be transferring? This is important for several reasons. Do they have a chapter of your sorority? Do you feel you would be a good fit for that chapter? Is that campus close enough geographically to TAMU that your history could hurt you? (In other words, will it get around campus that you pledged ABC at TAMU but dropped?)

Titchou 02-25-2014 11:12 AM

And keep in mind that if you go thru recruitment at your new school, one of the things the chapters are going to ask themselves about YOU: Hmmm, she went one year to Blinn, one year to TAMU, wonder if she'll stay here or move on after a year? Do we take a chance on her when Mary Jane's a freshman we like just as much???? It's a valid question.

AZTheta 02-25-2014 11:14 AM

where is drolefille?

FSUZeta and I are attempting to decipher and decode what people write. I am tired already of being confused, and have only done it a few times.

ETA: first appearance on GC she was at Blinn, and was going to transfer the next fall to TAMU, was asking about being a sophomore and rushing at that point. She apparently didn't rush fall 2013 at TAMU, and she was in her second year of college. She got a bid spring 2014. Now she wants to go somewhere else.

At least, that's what I've been able to decipher.
