Well, they called me about a week ago and told me AOII would be having an informal recruitment in the spring. but...they made quota....

so heres my dilemna, the AOIIs I know are sweet girls, fun, and I would have no problem hanging out with. just not sure if its the right sorority for me completely. Well I was thinking maybe it wouldn't hurt to atleast try. My question is if I'm not sure its the right sorority for me should I go through with it? or should I wait till fall? Also, if they give me a bid and I don't accept it, can I still rush in the fall?

heres the second part of my question. everyone has been telling me rushing in the fall as a sophomore is not bad and its worth doing. but...my fear is I will only be exposed to my pledge class, who would be almost all freshman. all the swaps are for freshman, and i would perfer to make friends in my own grade. so is it likely as a sophomore pledge I can become close to the sophomore actives?

thanks!

As far as AOII, have you been through informal with them? If not, you don't even know if you'll get a bid.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong:

You are only bound to them if you ACCEPT a bid and depledge.

If you like them and feel that you enjoy hanging out with them, then I would suggest accepting, but if you don't feel that way, then don't. Keep in mind that you could go through formal and not receive a bid. Would you regret not taking it if given to you?

About your 2nd question: Just because your NM class is mostly freshmen doesn't mean you can't meet and become close to other sophomores. I'm assuming that chapters that large have plenty of events for new members to meet girls in all classes.

But really, just wait and see what happens.
