However, the word on the street is that the Panhellenic Council voted to allow each chapter a sophomore quota of 4. I also have some good friends in sororities who would be willing to help me out.

My question is this: What are my chances, with good recs, perfect grades and a decent resume, of getting into one of the non-Big 6 sororities? I know you're supposed to go into rush with an open mind, but I'm aware that I have almost no chance of getting a bid in any of the top sororities, and I feel that I would fit in better with the smaller ones anyway. Should I even bother rushing?

Thank you all so much!
