Rushing as a second year
I'm in a strange situation, but I think if I put in some effort I can head in the right direction. I have a while to make a decision, as formal rush is in the spring.
I'm at UVa and this only really rushed one chapter seriously (Mistake #1) because I was pretty confident I was a good fit there and I am a legacy for this fraternity. I asumed it was the right choice (Mistake#2). Needless to say that fell through miserably, and now I hope that I can maybe have a second chance.
I have three prospective chapters, which can reasonably ranked as upper mid-tier chapters. While I am not in the greek system here I am well acquainted with it so I know what I'm getting myself into. One chapter, I had 3 friends from high school pledge and they enjoy it thoroughly. I actually have been hanging out with these guys and meeting their brothers over this summer. Another chapter, I have a friend from my hometown who is encouraging me to pursue interest in his chapter. And another, where one of my best friends I met first year pledged and he's encouraged me to look at his chapter.
I think I have a good foundation, but I just need opinions as to what the greek system, especially at shcools like Ole Miss, UGA, and Bama think of characters like myself. Also, what could be done to make myself more appealing to these chapters?
