Does anyone know about UGA's spring recruitment?? Or how the sororities feel about sophmores who rush? |
Hi PNM, I pledged Gamma Phi in the spring of 1999. I loved it - it was so much more relaxing and "real" than fall rush. The way it works is that not every house participates in spring rush. If the sorority does not reach quota in the fall or happens to have new members drop out, then they may participate in spring rush and accept whatever number will allow them to keep a full membership. I believe those are the only reasons the sorority would do spring rush, but correct me if I'm wrong.
I will be honest, the very traditional sororities are sometimes known to penalize sophmores because rush is so competitive and it's just one more reason they can use to further the process of elimination. However, that's not to say that if you happened to become friends with women in a particular group or groups and were interested in being recruited by those houses, those genuine connections and friendships would most certainly help you out.
I hope this helps. Feel free to holler if you have other questions.
