im a little nervous

[couggirl]

I would not worry too much about being a junior at WSU. Its been a while since I graduated but a few years ago they had free juniors, which meant that a sorority could take as many juniors as they wanted during formal recruitment. I would suggest going to the preview day that is usually in april and visit the two sororities that you can ( that is how things worked when I was there). Have fun and really dont worry about being a junior. I didn't know which sororitities your friend is talking about, but a good percentage of women who go through recruitment get a bid.

Also, i had some friends go through who were juniors and got bids to some of the "top" sororities. good luck couggirl

If you're on the westside look into the local Alumnae Panhellenics and ask everyone you know if they are sorority alumnae (or in the case of some groups, collegians) and try and get recs. Since you're a junior having recs may help you since they will know more about you and give you an opportunity beyond the basic recruitment info.

Also August is HOT in Pullman, be prepared. Also think about your living situation, freshmen live on campus for the fall, double check with the Office of Greek Life if you'll be required to live in right away if you're an upperclassman, if there's an opportunity to live in, if on campus is what you want, or if you're going to look for an off campus apartment. I'm not fully up to date on WSU housing, so if you're interested in going through recruitment ask them about living situations and requirements.

Everyone use to be required to live in on campus housing when they went through rush regardless if they signed a housing contract or not. things could have changed, but this is something that you should look into. Also, the preview weekend in april will talk about this, or at least it should be a place to live.

PS. I was wrong, my friend got a bid and was a senior, still only 19 (she did running start) and got a bid to one of the "top" houses. I really would not worry too much.

Second that. There is one in Seattle and one in Bellevue (Overlake).
