Second, there HAD to be at least one activity to join. If there were few activities, maybe you could have started your own? It's too late for that now, but people /may will look upon that unfavorbaly. Yes, a 3.5 is great, but you had nothing else to do besides study. Being in a sorority takes up a lot of time. They will need to see that you can have good grades AND be involved as much as you need to be.

Perhaps you can get involved with something at home or wherever you are living right now - through church, volunteer programs, etc. You need to show people that you can branch out beyond yourself. Even if it's for a month. You can then look at your new school and see if a similar interest or group is already represented on campus. It doesn't need to be 10 hours a week.

That's all the advice I have. Perhaps others can give you some better information. Good luck with recruitment.

Thank you so much for your advice! I'm am positive that I have used proper grammar and spelling on all of my resumes and registrations for recruitment! If I haven't used it on this site, it has been unintenionally. I agree with what you said about how I could've been more involved with activities in college. There weren't any groups that interested me, so I chose not to join. However, I was involved in church and my job. I was sure to put that on my resume. As for showing that I can have good grades and be as involved as I need to be, I maintained a 3.4 GPA in high school while being VERY involved in extracurricular ativities! I guess I should reword my question. If you were to know all of the information that I have told you, and knowing that I'm transferring in as a sophomore, would you even consider me for being in your sorority?
