Transfer Students

[adpiucf]

If you'll be at Bama or Auburn in the fall, being a sophomore may account for some heavy cuts. These recruitments are very competitive.

At the other AL schools, upperclassmen status as a sophomore should not hurt you as much, but you will be cut by some chapters due to your class rank. If you're at USA or a similar school, I wouldn't worry as much about being a soph. Some sorority chapters at some schools have a stronger preference for underclassmen.

This is not a sorority-wide thing; just depends on the individual chapter and their particular chapter needs at that university.

Definitely list out all of your HS activities in detail. One of my close friends rushed as an upperclassman, and had a very competitive recruitment, moreso than many first year students! I am partially convinced that a lot of this had to do coming in with a strong application-- although she was an upperclassmen with reasonably ok grades and a smattering of campus involvement, her high school achievements were really something special. She is one of the few ladies I know who was invited back to every single chapter after the first round of cuts (our school did it that year where PNM's could see all of their invites and then choose which parties to attend).

Keep an open mind and secure recommendations for the sororities at your school. Have fun!
