Rushing as a junior or senior transfer student

Maybe at your school, but not in all. In very competitive systems, a girl who's not a freshman has virtually zero chance of getting a bid. That's just the way the system works. Sororities would much rather bid girls who will put in more time to the sorority, especially when they have the option of doing so.

This would largely depend on the school.

My school had quite a few junior transfers come through rush, so we were all open to having them. They had no problems getting bids.

As far as senior transfers, there weren't as many of those, but those that went through got bids (because senior transfers are not graduating in May and will be around for at least a couple years).

As far as seniors with one year left, they were always cut halfway through. This was usually because they were graduating in May and no sorority saw the point of taking on someone who was graduating so soon.

Given that your myspace address is linked to your account here, and that I read your blog, you seriously need to consider your privacy options. I also hope that you find a more eloquent reason to give during rush, other than the one you have on your blog. Membership in a sorority is not going to make you outgoing, friendly, or ambitious. You get out of it only what you put into it, and from what I read, you only list what you want to get out of it:

Well, I'm back at (GC poster removed school name) for the Spring Quarter and I'm hoping to achieve my goal to join a sorority...The reason I named my blog the final straw is because this may be my final chance of joining a sorority because I do want and need a social life instead of sitting at home cleaning, studying, watching TV, and on the computer everyday. I have to go out more often and it's the truth.

KSUViolet already took care of it and the OP gave her reason why.
