So true, EGAOPi!

However, if you are really interested in pledging and want to see all of the houses, fall recruitment is a good way to do that... and even at some of these very competitive recruitments, there are still houses who will pledge stellar sophomores. I would encourage you to get involved in activities where you might meet some Greeks... as a sophomore at a competitive school, it can be very helpful to already know some people (although this by no means is meant to suggest that it will guarantee you any special treatment, they will at least be able to remember your name).

Best of luck!
