I rushed as a second semester sophomore and even though I wanted to rush as a freshman I'm glad I waited. I went through a year of college figuring it all out and I when I decided to go to recruitment I was there specfically because I knew I wanted to be there. It didn't hurt than one of my co-workers was an adpi who was a great representation of the sorority
Sounds cheesy, but I knew I was an adpi before I walked in the room the first night.
