I will say that it's not a southern school though.
Why rush as a junior? Well, to be completely honest, I didn't have a clue what sororities were or what they stood for freshman year, so I missed the boat there. And sophomore year I was very sick during the rush period, so I couldn't. I participated in COB twice sophomore year, but wasn't offered a bid either time. So here I am junior year.
My GPA's strong, and, since the COB events, I've joined two new clubs on campus. I'm a more confident individual than I was and I really want to give this a go. Any advice?

Well... I got a bid as a Junior, but I had a high GPA, a lot of involvement (3 clubs, +2 extracurricular activies -sports), and I knew a few sorority women. My advice, get recs from sorority alumni, keep improving your grades, get to know as many sorority women as possible, don't expect to get into the so-called "top" sororities, be yourself and be ready to answer the question (if anyone asks) "why did you decide to rush now?" I don't know if anyone will ask you that, but always be prepared for it. I wouldn't bring up your past rush experiences unless someone asks you about it.
