In my past experience as a UCLA adviser, juniors did great in COR and we picked up some wonderful juniors during formal. It really just depends on you, the chapter and your mutual needs and goals. It is an unspoken rule that underclassmen are shown preference at schools with a very competitive recruitment.

Since you can't COR this year (your bid is binding for one full calendar year), go ahead and take the rest of this year getting involved on campus. You'll meet sorority women in class and in campus activities. Do well in your studies and make a postitive name for yourself on campus.

Register for formal recruitment next fall, and see how you do. If you don't sign a bid card after that formal recruitment, you will be eligible for COR and can check that out.

Formal recruitment and COR are for anyone who is interested. You don't have to know anyone. The Office ofGreek Life will have the best and most recent information and dates, as well as objective advice. COR is going to be more relaxed and casual than formal-- women who don't bid after formal may come back to COR, or ladies who are just interested in sorority membership who missed formal will come out-- it's really for all.

Sorority membership is just one way to be involved at UCLA! There are some wonderful service and activitity groups, including some fabulous co-ed GLO's dedicated to pre-professional development and community. Check them out and best of luck to you!

Remember also to maintain a postitive reputation. You want to be known as that awesome girl who is PR chair for the Pre-Med Society, not a drunk fraternity groupie who hooks up and passes out at every party! As an upperclassmen, your reputation can precede you at recruitment-- another good reason to make friends with sorority women who can talk you up to their sisters.

ETA: UCLA no longer has a junior quota.
