Anyway, joining a sorority is something I've wanted for a long time...but I am transferring to a different college next fall and I don't know if I should go through formal recruitment again. As much as I want to be a part of a chapter I am really scared that I am just going to be depressed again. Any suggestions?
Also, at the school I am transferring to I am a legacy at one of the chapters. Does this mean I will have a better chance of being invited into that sorority??
Oh, also I am wondering is it important to have reccomendations??
Any other information would be really helpful!!!

ThAnKs!!!

At some schools, having recommendations is very important. At other schools, they're not that important. Some schools have members who don't even know what to do with them. Without knowing your campus (and I don't suggest revealing that at all), it's hard to tell. Try and do a search on GreekChat to see if there are any rush threads from your new school.
Being a legacy does not guarantee you a bid. They are extended certain courtesies, however. If you decide to rush, you may want to ask your relative member to fill out a legacy introduction form (if they have one).
If you think you can handle the possibility of rejection once again, go ahead and rush. If you can't, then don't.
