It’s going to be difficult to give you an appropriate answer without knowing what type of school you go to but that being said…
I was a spring transfer and didn’t have any trouble receiving a bid. The only real problem that I ran into was very few of the fraternities were openly/actively recruiting. On my campus typically spring classes consist of guys that for whatever reason didn’t go through in the fall; so depending on your campus many fraternities might already be set on who they will be bidding in the spring. Don’t let that dissuade you though; I guess the point I’m trying to get across is that you might have to be a bit more proactive in seeking out opportunities. As far as “being looked down upon” for being a spring transfer I was the President of IFC as well as the President of my Chapter; take that for what it’s worth, good luck this spring.
