Thanks!

Treat every single day on campus as if you are going through Recruitment! Dress appropriately (whatever that means on your campus), smile, be engaging and open to meeting new people, put yourself in situations where you meet sorority girls in positive ways (not bars...), follow-up on invitations and keep your grades up!

Thanks for the advice!!

Have you spoken with anyone in the Greek Life office? You might be able to get on a COB list so that sororities know you are interested and have access to your contact info.

Do you have any friends in sororities at UW? If you do, you should ask if their sorority is holding any COB events.

You are not considered a legacy.

^this

there are a LOT of time commitments associated with a sorority. But it's doable. But you do need to work out your schedule.

Typically you'll have to take off of work for recruitment week, and the week before (spirit week/polish week/work week), not to mention usually 1 night/week for chapter meetings

And that doesn't even include philanthropy events, socials, date nights, formals, etc.

Wait. What?

Seeing that you already dropped out of a sorority, you should not jump into the next one.

Phi Mu is colonizing at UW in January of 2015, would I have a chance then do you guys think?

The fact that you just dropped out of non-NPC sorority like it's no big deal for whatever reason leads me to believe that this colony would not be the best choice for you as they want strong leaders who are willing to put in time and effort as they make a commitment to their sisterhood. I'm thinking you might not be the right fit.

Especially if you post to Greekchat, a forum that I am sure members of Phi Mu's headquarters read, while using a username that identifies yourself.

You have already been in a sorority?
