A 4th year exchange student in a sorority ?

I don't know about California schools either, but I think some chapters would think it pretty cool to have an exchange student, assuming you like them and they like you, of course. Getting a bid as a senior can be tougher depending on the campus, but again, that might be where the uniqueness of your student status might work in your favor. I say go through rush and see what happens, worst case scenario is that you don't get a bid, but at least you'll have had the experience of rush and won't always wonder "what if" if you don't try... good luck!!!

Does CSU-Northridge and CSU-Long Beach have anything called "open university" or an extension program? If they do....are you considered part of the extension or open university. At CSU-East Bay all the international exchange students are under what is called "open university" so that means you aren't fully enrolled in the college. And they were NOT allowed to rush. So i'd check if i was you to make sure your considered full enrolled in the school.

I have known exchange students to go through recruitment and they were very well received. I would encourage you to contact the Greek Life office to find out more about it. They can answer the questions you might have if that school permits it.

We have some ladies on this board that are affiliated with San Diego State. Maybe they can jump in and provide some advise.

When I was in school, we had a girl from the UK. She wasn't an exchange student, but she pledged as a Sophomore. We loved her and several of our sisters went to visit her in Europe over the summer.
