As someone who transferred mid year and did COB I'd probably have been terrified by the chanting, matching outfits, five minute convos of formal rush. That could be a great way of finding quality members who didn't sign up in time for formal. I'm the first in my family to go to college much less join a Greek org so for us 'virgins' to all of that, it could be weird. I was very involved in my first (two year) college and transferred to a uni with around 25,000 students (it's since gotten bigger) and didn't realize how hard it would be to get plugged in. I worked in the student union and dealt with a lot of the Greeks and decided joining would be a good way to meet people. I can't believe I'm the only one of my species.
PS: My first college is now a 4 year school with Greek life.
