I agree with everyone else...you have to give it a shot! If you don't...you will spend the rest of your life wondering what if. My little sister just went through rush this past year here at K-State...she said that it was a tough process but that she did not regret it in any way. She also said that there were actually quite a few older girls going through rush. Obviously it can hurt you...it also helps that you are a freshman. Go for it!
