Advice for rushing as a senior?

[breathesgelatin]

There is a lot of variance between small southern schools. At some recruitment is very laid-back. At some it's moderately to highly competitive.

It may be too late for this if silence has started, but I would advise you to speak to some sorority women that you know and are friends with (if any) and ask them to honestly assess what your chances might be. They'll probably have a better read on it than anyone else. Obviously though that won't help if you don't know any sorority members.

I would say go for it, but realize that it's difficult to pledge as a senior. The sororities may have the attitude of "why did you wait so long?" The answer you gave us was that you just didn't know about/hear about recruitment before. Well, they may ask why not, if you were interested? Why didn't you investigate it fully?

I would advise you to have a better answer ready than "I just didn't know about it." Not something untruthful - maybe you could say you realized it was your last chance to join the sisterhood of a lifetime or something. You get my drift?

Speaking as someone who did pledge her senior year, I really think it depends you school and its environment. It is also different if you are going through formal recruitment as opposed to COB or founding.

If you feel strongly about this I would go ahead and go through recruitment. You will never know if you don't give it a try!

I would not trade my Greek experience in for anything!
