I will be a sophomore this coming fall at a huge southern school with a pretty hardcore, cut-throat greek system. I rushed this past fall as a freshman, and I dropped out after the first round. I got cut from most of my favorite houses, although i did get invited back to 1 or 2 that i liked, but still dropped out of rush because i was sooo hurt from getting cut from soo many that I seemed to like and that seemed to like me. A lot of my friends and other girls got invited back to all their top choices and I didn't... I didn't understand why either, I have an awesome GPA, I dressed nicely, I was myself, I thought I had good conversation, I'm a cute girl....I even got cut from houses that I got multiple recs for. Now, after a year of being here (don't get me wrong, I've had a blast!) I have realized that i really would like to be in a sorority, not just because they are so big here but because I feel like it would make my college experience much more fulfilling, I would make life-long friends, and not to mention all the fun socials and activities they get to do.. I just want to belong to something a little smaller and more personal than my school of 30,000+ students. In other words, I want to join a sorority for all the right reasons.
I guess my question is... should I even bother rushing as a sophomore? I have a ton of friends in a lot of the houses, but a lot of people say that sophomores get automatically cut, and plus I'm afraid I'll get rejected again and then I'll be completely distraught! Another promblem i have come across is that my pledge class will probably be mostly, if not all, freshman, so I might not feel as connected with girls a year younger than me...
I don't know what to do..... ? what do ya'll think?
If I do decide to rush, do you have any suggestions for sophomores going through rush?
