I've just transferred in to UWO (Oshkosh) and have made the decision to rush this fall. I'm coming in as a Sopomore but am a slightly older version of the average-aged college student (ie I took a couple years off for personal reasons.) Is being 25 and a Sophomore going to hurt my chances any?
Thanks for the input guys

P.S. What is COB??

sueali did a good job of explaining COB, so I'll try to answer your other question.
My understanding is that, with the exception of Madion, most of the UW system Greek systems (LOL) are pretty laid back. Many of them only have 2-4 sororities and are on campuses where most people aren't into the whole Greek thing, so they always love to see new women interested in Greek life. I can't really speak with any authority, since I haven't attended any of the UW schools except for Madison, but my guess is that your class rank won't hurt you at all and your age probably won't hurt you too much, if at all.
Maybe GeekyPenguin can add to this, since she went to UW-Platteville and knows a little bit more about the kind of Greek atmosphere that some of the smaller UW schools have.
Good luck with rush and be sure to let us know how it goes!
