i thought wrong.
seeing girls go through the rush process last year and coming home to my best friends that LOVED it and love where they are, i just feel like i made a huge mistake and i am going to go through rush this year regardless of my parents opinions.
my concern is that i keep hearing "some houses won't even look at you if your a sophomore" which i knew going into it, but i was wondering if anyone knew which houses at IU were like this. unfortunately i already have my "favorites" (houses where i know a few of the girls, houses i just like, and a house where i am a legacy, that i actually do really have an interest in) and i don't want to get into the process and be completely crushed. i would rather just know so i can go into it more open minded and maybe get some of my own bias out of the way. i know my thoughts about things will change when i actually go through rush, i just wanna know which houses won't even give me a chance so i know not to be heartbroken.
i don't know if this even makes sense, but i am just so EXCITED to rush this year and i just want to know more about what i am getting myself into.
thanks!!! : )

I'm not sure anyone can tell you which houses care less for sophomores. But IMO, it's better for you not to go into recruitment with the idea that you're not good enough for XYZ in your head. It is more likely that the "top" chapters on campus, the ones who fill quota easily every year, will be disinclined to take a sophomore. However, even the top chapters take sophomores if there really is that connection.
Even freshmen can get cut hard, so go in with an open mind (and heart) and no matter what happens be willing to give those chapters who invite you back a shot.
