Thank You so much!
Any advice and tips will be super helpful and much appreciated  |
Yes, recruitment is pretty competitive. With only 8 sororities and 600+ girls going through, the biggest reason for dropping out of recruitment is girls not getting invited back by the house they want. With that being said, going through recruitment as a junior is not ideal but its definitely not a deal breaker! I know quite a few girls who transferred and pledged as juniors. If you have sophomore standing I would definitely go with sophomore when you sign up, but during recruitment if it comes up, you just say that you transferred so you have (X) amount of years left. It doesn't bother sororities that you are a junior, they are more interested in how many years you will be around and be an active member. One of my best friends rushed as a junior and is a great sister.
No, recommendations are not necessary. Most girls go through recruitment at WVU without recs. You're chances are still as good without a rec. However, they can definitely help you if you have one.
I'll be a senior in a sorority at WVU and my biggest advice to you is go through recruitment and let your personality shine through. Try not to feel nervous or intimidated, it can be intimidating meeting a bunch of strangers and trying to impress them. Just try to have normal conversations and have a good time. Also, try to stay open minded about all the houses and disregard any "rush rumors" you might hear that week. I can promise you any of the bad rumors you hear during rush are false. No houses on this campus haze and all of them are great and have really sweet girls in each.
Best of luck!
