Transfer Students

So you were active in your church and held down a job during your first year of college? That counts! You're right, when you go to a community college, there aren't many opportunities to get involved on campus since everyone commutes. People go to class and then they leave. As long as you did something outside of your classes other than study, party and sleep, you were involved.

Given the information, you have a decent chance of getting a bid at Bama or Auburn as long as you keep an open mind (i.e. not getting your hopes up to join the top 2 chapters), because the only thing you have going against you is your class standing. You will be cut from some chapters merely because of your class standing. However, at a less competitve school like UNA or USA etc, you have an even better chance of getting a bid.

I'm going to chime in. It is possible to get a bid in your situation - I did. I wasn't a transfer student but I did not choose to rush my freshman year and tried my sophomore year. I could not have joined an organization more perfect for me and yes, I know this doesn't happen to everyone. Just to give you a little hope.
