Just wondering what kind of university you go to. Usually the more compeititve, more harsh cuts are made for upperclassmen and some universities consider "sophomore" as upperclassmen. I'm sorry that you didn't get a pref invite though...

I go to a pretty small school of about 5000. There were about 60 girls rushing.

I had a question - not sure if I should be making a new thread. But I got a call today from the sorority advisor and she was just calling people that did not get pref invites to see if they were okay. She also said we're starting a new colony next semester at the school. I sent her an e-mail saying I would be really interested in establishing a new organization. I'm not sure - but how does that start? Would a few interested girls start it and then have girls rush them next semester? Could I be one of the founding girls? What's the process? I really don't think I would rush again but would be really interested in being one of the founders of a new organization on campus.

Thank you guys!

The sorority was likely at or over total and therefore could only take quota. However, take things that new members (or old members for that matter) tell you with a grain of salt. They should be using a release figures method so they don't have more girls at pref than they could possibly give bids to.

I'm guessing the rush that just ended was informal, and most likely, there were very few open spots.

By sorority advisor I assume you mean the Greek advisor. As far as a colony is concerned, if they already know the colonization is happening it will be what's called a "ground up" colonization. Officers and other volunteers from the sorority's national headquarters will come to the school and interview women who are interested in being founding members. They will be the ones to choose the women - current collegians or your school's Greek advisor will not be involved in this process. All groups are looking for different things, but making sure your grades are the best they can be and getting involved in other extracurricular activities never hurts.
