IU fall informal rush..as a junior?

[btownlady]

Hello all! I'm currently a sophomore at Indiana University in Bloomington. I've always been interested in sorority life, but my freshman year I missed the formal recruitment deadline by one day (heartbreaking, really) & this year, my place of work had a lot of people quit unexpectedly and I was suddenly given a lot of hours, meaning that I wouldn't have time for formal recruitment (I didn't feel that it would right to leave my job hanging).

However, I had one of my friends in a sorority tell me about informal rush in the fall. I previously had no idea that it existed, so I'm a little shaky on the details. On the IU Panhellenic recruitment website, it says that anyone with a sophomore standing or above can rush in the fall. Is that true? I'd never heard of anybody rushing as a junior, but I would absolutely love to. I'll be here an extra year at least, due to my late major declaration, and I exceed the posted minimum GPA requirements for all sororities.

I know that very few sororities hold informal rush, but I have no "ideal sorority" in my head that I HAVE to get into. I'm very open! Has anybody ever heard of a case like mine?

I don't think many houses do informal rush now. However the new sorority is colonizing and accepting applications/interviews this week. You should jump on that right now. Their Facebook page has information

This past fall only one chapter took women. All chapters but one made quota this week, so odd that there will be informal is VERY slim. If you are interested, I would schedule an interview with DPhiE ASAP. Honestly, I think it may be your best chance to be Greek.

It might be your only chance to be Greek. IU is a really difficult place to rush.

Read this thread so you know what you're getting into:

I'd amend that to say ONLY chance to be Greek
