Can i join a sorority if i transfer from a community college?
I would LOVE to join a sorority but i am going to a community college first...then i am transferring to a university. Can i join for my 2 years i am there? And is there someone that can help me choose some sororities that i would want to rush?
Any help would be AMAZING! |

As far as the sororities you would want to rush, I think the ones with women would be a good plan. |

The short answer is: yes, it is possible to join a sorority as a junior transfer, but it may often be harder than if you gone through recruitment. Depends on the school.
As OTW suggested, PLEASE read the other threads on GC about this topic. They are filled with answers that will surely benefit you. |
Its always possible to rush. I rushed at the end of my sophomore year. We have alumni that decided to rush in the last semester before they graduated because Greek life doesn't end with graduation. Often times, alumni have the opportunity to stay just as involved as the active members. My chapter includes our alumni is many things that we do because they earned the right just like we have, and because as a brother you should be important no matter how old or what status you are. You wouldn't ignore your grandmother or grandfather just because they are old. On the contrary, you would listen to them very dearly because they can provide wisdom. This is just a very small taste of what alumni can offer.
To answer your question about what organization to join, I would visit with all of them at the campus you decide to transfer to, and then rush the one that suits you the best. For example, if you are a very religious person, you might do well in a religious based organization. My campus has the Alpha Phis, and the SAO's (Sigma Alpha Omega), the Phi's are a very social sorority, they like to have fun and their weekly hangout is usually karaoke at Buffalo Wild Wings. There's usually alcohol involved. On the other hand, the SAO's are a Christian based sorority, and they are much more reserved. Also, my campus has the Sig Tau's and the Lambda Chi's. The Sig Tau's are a social fraternity that just thrives on brotherhood and excellence from all walks of life. The Lambda Chi's on my campus are comprised of primarily ROTC students. A person that isn't in the military, or has no desire to ever be in the military might fit in with the Sig Tau's a lot better than the Lambda Chi's. All 4 organizations are great to belong to, and all of them do great things for each other and their community, but your Greek experience will be a lot better if you can relate to your brothers or sisters. |

And who was talking about LXA in this thread? Did I miss something? |
Blue blood mentioned them in his extremely pointless post.

Even if he was talking about LXA, the OP was obviously referring to sorority procedures. Being able to rush a fraternity as a junior is irrelevant. |
The whole point of my "extremely pointless post" was to address the second part of the OP. She wanted to know if anyone could help her choose who to rush with. That's really a personal decision that shouldn't be swayed by 100 people telling her to join a specific sorority because only she knows who she fits in with.

Then why bring up fraternities at all? |
I was speaking in general about Greek organizations. It really doesn't matter whether you're male or female, you should still choose an organization that you can fit into. Obviously, females aren't the only ones that will read this thread. Maybe a male comes along in the same situation and reads this thread.

You need to keep in mind that not all GLOs are the same on each campus.

Okay, the only advice I gave was that she should try to choose an org that suits her. How is that fraternity specific advice? Male or female, why would anyone choose an org that they don't fit into?
