All that being said, do you meet the GPA requirements? Do you have activities? Did you have all your recs in? In other words, did you cover the basics? And lastly, how did you feel at the parties? Did you enjoy yourself and let them know? Did you let your favorite group know you'd like to join? How - or did you - show interest?
These are the simple basics of recruitment.

thanks for your reply, I wasn't asking my chances of a particular sorority exactly, but just wondering if it was possible that I could get a bid in the spring as a junior. Basically asking if anyone here had it happen to them. I should probably ask our VP of membership though.
and yes, I met the GPA requirements and I am involved in a couple other activities on campus. We don't have to have recs but I felt that I had a lot to offer and covered the basics. At the COBs I felt welcome and involved at the parties. I am typically a shy person but I found it really easy to open up and had great convos with the girls I talked to. I made sure to tell the sororities I was interested in that I liked their sorority and for what reasons. I didn't flat out say, Hey XYZ I want to be a sister. I feel like that would have been rude or would have made it seem like I thought I was in already, but I did make a point to show interest without seeming cocky or over confident. I honestly feel like maybe I just don't stand out enough. If fall recruitment doesn't work out I will definitely try in the spring, I know i will regret it if I don't at least try.
