Honest Expectations
Hello,
I'm a current sophomore student at a university in Illinois where there are 5,300 undergraduate students and it's estimated that 1,400 at least are involved in greeklife. I did not rush my freshman year because I needed to attend a family funeral the first weekend of rush. I was bummed but I tried to cover up my feelings saying "maybe it's just not for me" or something to that extent. This year, I still went in with the thought that it's just not for me and probably a day after Bid Day happened, I completely regretted it. I now know that it is something that I really do want to be a part of. I want the sisterhood and just an overall well rounded experience of my college years and I feel that this element of going greek is exactly what I'm missing and will regret if I do not at least rush. We do not have informal rush, I believe, at my university in the Spring. My question is, honest opinions too please, do I have a realistic chance of being asked to join a sorority if I rush next Fall at the beginning of my junior year? Do sororities even look at girls older than sophomores or transfer students? Thanks for any advice/opinions.
