Hey ladies, I'm kind of new to this forum. I've been reading a lot of posts but I just now registered. You all are so helpful when anyone has advice, so I figured I'd come to you for help... here is my situation. I absolutely love the idea of being involved in the Greek system. All my friends are Greeks, so I know what the experience would be like.
I'm originally from California, but I'm going to college in the Midwest. I just finished up my first year at a good-sized state university. I didn't do formal rush in the fall because I was kind of forced into doing marching band, so I didn't have any time. I really regretted that, so I started to get into informal in the winter/spring (2nd semester). I got invited by several houses on my campus (we have 7 sororities) to come do rush there. I went to most of the events, and there was one house that I had a friend in that was rushing me pretty hard. I didn't really feel like I fit in there, so I didn't pursue it. Same goes for the other houses I checked out; great girls, but not a good fit for me. The school in general wasn't really meeting my expectations either. I feel like I'm a big fish in a little pond (which I hate!!) and that most people don't really care about anything but parties.
Long story short (too late) I decided to transfer to one of the most sought after schools in the Midwest. I have a 3.8 GPA, I've held leadership positions in student organizations, and I have a good high school track record. I'm waiting to hear if I got admitted or not until October/November. If I was accepted, I would start there in January 2011.
So basically, I still have one semester left at my first school and I want to make the most of it. I'm worried that I might not get accepted to the new school and that I might have to stay at my current school. I was wondering if you guys thought it would be a good idea to check out formal rush this year (but not go very far into it) just to make sure that I was interested in joining a sorority. I don't mean to be annoying or anything, I feel like I typed A LOT, but my situation is pretty complicated :P
Thanks in advance for whatever help you can offer me! If you are familiar with the big 10 schools and I'll tell you what school specifically I'm talking about, and maybe you can give me more advice from there.
Awkward transfer situation!!
