My whole family was a part of the Greek community here and growing up, I saw how devoted they were to their sorority/fraternity and I knew that I wanted to do it. But when my turn to get involved came around, it didn't end up going as well. Last night, listening to all the girls scream, watching them line up to get on the buses, was torture.

I still want to be a part of a sorority. I feel like I'm going to miss out on the kind of bonds my mom/dad/brother/sister have with their sisters/brothers that they still rely on to this day.

So my question is, how does informal recruitment work? Is there even a chance of getting a bid if the only people you know are members of the new PC? And should I rush next year if things don't work out?

Thanks.

P.S. I'm a freshman, second semester!

My guess would be that the only chapters who might do informal would be houses that you *cough* "felt no connection with."
