I haven’t tried Spring Recruitment because it limits my chances to 3 sororities on campus. I still want to rush Fall 2020 recruitment and I know I’ll have the GPA for it but I’m afraid sororities won’t want to take me because I’ll be a junior then. Do you think recommendation letters could help me out? What would your advice be to stick out?

P.S. I also know that the weekends I have drill with the national guard could count as community service hours for the sorority

May I ask your age? Rushing if you are 20+ years old will be another tough issue to overcome.

I’m 19! I turn 20 in March so I’d be pushing it

I've never heard of anyone counting Drill as community service. It's not really volunteering- you get paid to go to Drill.

OTT, I have no comments since I wasn't in an NPC sorority. I joined at one month from 21, just getting back from AIT, though.
