Spring O8 Recruitment

[merbear8001]

Hi! I'm new here, although I've been reading posts for a while I haven't quite found the answer that I'm looking for. I'm transferring in the middle of my sophomore year to a middle-sized private school in the south, although most students are from both the south and the northeast. At my previous university I was never interested in sororities until I saw the amazing bonds they had and how much fun they had together and I realized that I want to have too, since I feel that I fit in much more with the new school I will be attending I decided that I may also find a sorority that I will fit into.

So my question is, I haven't seen much about formal recruitment specifically at the kind of school I will be transferring to. I know that recruitment isn't like that at a big state school in the south, and Greek involvement at the school is about 30%. Are recommendations usually necessary at a school like this? I read on the school's greek life page that if recommendations are needed the chapter is responsible for getting them, is that how it usually works? Also, since I am rushing as a sophomore AND a transfer, how might that affect my chances? Should I tell the sisters that I'm a transfer and this will be my first semester there which is why I haven't been that involved yet (because recruitment will be the first week I'm at the school) but I plan to be involved in certain clubs and what I was involved in at my previous school?

I'm sorry I'm rambling, I guess I just need some advice since I wasn't involved at my previous university. I'm really looking forward to making bonds with lots of new girls! Thanks!
