When is too late to rush?

Senior year is kind of late in the game.

I would think that even at non-competitive schools, it would be tough to get a bid, just because it's not like you're a transfer and you'll be around for a few more years. You're graduating in May.

I went to a non-competitive school and there were very few instances of graduating seniors getting bids (maybe 2 thoroughout my time in college--and they were girls who were VERY well connected with a chapter). If a senior got a bid, she was most likely going to be in school for at least another year.

The odds may be against you here. However, you can do whatever you want. Best of luck.

My experience (extremely small, noncompetitive school, three sororities) echoes this. I can only think of one instance of a graduating senior receiving a bid to my chapter, and two instances at another chapter on my campus. In all three instances, the ladies in question were very, very special cases.

Go through recruitment, if that's what you want to do, but at this point, expecting a bid might not be very realistic.
