Rushed as a Junior
As a freshman in college, I was really shy, and wasn't entirely sure if Greek life was for me, so I didn't rush, although nearly all the freshmen rush at my school. Sophomore year I considered it, but then thought that it might be too much of a commitment. I had a lot of difficult classes, and had my heart set on getting straight A's in them, so I felt I needed to put the majority of my free time into studying.
By junior year, I had realized that I was pretty good at managing my time and getting good grades. I was also a lot more confident, and decided that joining a sorority was something I really wanted to do. I went through rush, but unfortunately did not receive a bid. There was a very large freshman class rushing that year and not enough sororities. I really enjoyed the rush parties, and would have loved to experience Greek life, but most of the decision was not in my control.
Overall, I think being an older student may have hurt me during rush. In my opinion, freshmen seem to have the best chance of getting a bid, so if you are even considering rushing as a freshman, go for it!
