My recommendation is that you call your university's office of student life/Greek affairs and ask them about upperclassmen at recruitment. Different schools vary on their policies, even schools within the same state. Also, each sorority has different needs-- some are looking for underclassmen only, others are looking for a mix of under and upperclassmen, etc.
Your university can best explain their policy regarding recruitment and bids.
Positives:
* You have met the sorority women at your school and attended events with them. They know who you are and have an idea of your personality. You also have some idea of what they are like.
* You have recommendations.
To DO:
* Call your university and get your application in. Ask them questions about upperclassmen at recruitment. They have the tried and true answers!
* Read up on some Greek Chat Rush Threads!
* What are you going to wear? Get an idea of your wardrobe and what you need to wear to the events.
* Practice answering some questions like "Tell me about yourself" Why do you want to be in a sorority?" "What are your favorite things" etc.
* Make a list of questions you might ask a sorority woman like "Why did you join this sorority?" "What is the new member period like?" "What are some of the social events planned this year?" "Tell me about yourself" etc.
* Take a look at the sororities on your campus. Read up on their traditions, values and history on their universty web sites and national websites.
*Relax and have fun! Recruitment is a great way to make friends.
* Make it your goal to get involved with your new university. Check out the many great activities offered on your campus (see the thread titled "Greek Alternatives")
Good luck! Now... go call your school and ask about sophomores!
