Transfer Sorority Recruitment SEC

[DevonM]

My dream has always been to go to a huge southern school. However, I was pursuing fashion design and had to go up to NYC as most southern schools don't offer design. However, I hate it and want to transfer to merchandising. I'm hoping to get into Auburn and/or UGA (I'm originally from Georgia). Do I need a rec for every single sorority?? I only know 2-3 alumni so I don't know what to do about that. In addition the alumni are from popular sororities so I don't think I'd have a chance for getting in as a sophomore. Is it possible to get in without recs? I just don't understand how I'm supposed to find 17 alumni from 17 different sororities! Anyway, I currently have a 3.5 GPA and am involved in campus ministry (Christian/community service) Fashion Inc. club, photography club, dance and orchestra. I also horseback ride but not through school. Are these activities helpful/impressive at all? Should I consider joining another specific club(s)? Also, are my chances significantly lower since I will be a sophomore rushing in the Fall? I think I will be at school for 3 and a half to four years since most of my design credits will not transfer. Would I still be considered a "sophomore" at that point? I know sororities don't want to take sophomores but I thought it was because they'd have less time to devote to the sorority...If I'm at school for another 4 years won't I be as eligible as the freshmen?? Any other tips for rushing as a sophomore would be greatly appreciated and sorry for all the questions! Thank you for your help!
