Exactly. There are certain girls that know they are going to go through recruitment--mainly the girls from the coasts, suburbs of Chicago, certain suburbs of Detroit. But otherwise, unless you know about Greek life prior to coming to campus, it's not on the radar. I think that's why there are so many sophomores that go through it. I knew I was going to rush as a freshman because I had friends at other schools who did it and I was a legacy (not where I ended up). The freshman in my pledge class were in similar circumstances to me, and the sophomores waited because they had no clue what it was like and didn't want to jump in to it.
