And AnchorAlumna, I definately understand what you mean about grades..I had a 3.76 at the school I'm transferring from, but due to dual enrollment in high school, my new school dropped it down to a 3.38, which I actually brought up with this last semester so I'm going in with like a 3.45 or something, which isn't too bad I don't think--I've been on deans list all three semesters that I've been in college and last spring I was on deans list and chancellors list. So I've got that part under control for the most part..its no straight 4.0 but its something.
I wanted to wait and go through fall recruitment but I know a few people who know girls in greek life at the school (I know literally no one at it) and my chances of getting in as a junior are very slim..especially since rush is apparently difficult for even freshman..so I'm going to go through spring. IF I get a bid but I'm not at home with the house, I'm not going to join it for the sake of being Greek..I'll try out fall rush and if that doesn't work out...well, then there are plenty of other things to get involved in around campus I suppose.
I'm going to call the Greek Office tomorrow to ask their opinion..I have more than plenty things that I can list from my old school, so I hope they say its the best thing to do!
When you call the Greek Life office, you might inquire about Upperclassmen Quota. Not all schools do it, so if they have no idea what you're talking about, move on with the conversation, but some schools have a seperate quota for Jrs/Srs.
