Thank you to those of you who have wished me luck.

Let me add my good wishes! I pledged as a junior well before my campus began excluding juniors and seniors from quota and it was hard. However, I got my first choice and was very involved for the two years I was there and became very involved as an alum.
I think it will all depend on your outlook. If I had it to do all over again, I would have made sure on that first day to emphasize my interest in getting involved and being a very active member. There were girls in my pledge class who were freshman who dropped out or went MIA after the first year. So who was the member that contributed the most - me or that freshman who never really did anything.
Most sororities are looking for women who will make positive contributions to their chapter no matter the year. If all they are looking for is x amount of freshman (and there were groups on my campus who
might pledge 3 or 4 sophmores forget juniors) then that is probably not the group for you. But, if you make sure to emphasize the amount of time you will be on that campus and the involvement you want to have in the organization, I think you will end up with the right group for you.
Best Wishes!!
