If you want to have a guarrentee that you will get a bid, you won't. Even a beautiful, MENSA level intellect who has an amazing resume is not guarenteed a bid. If you want to join a sorority or hell a fraternity for that matter, just go for it. IMO it's better to try and not get a bid then to never have tried and regret it for the rest of your life.

Best advice given by a guy EVER.

Seriously girls, this is UGA we're talking about. If you want to do it, do it. But as a junior, you're going to have a tough time.

It's quite difficult for a junior at UGA to get a bid during formal recruitment. Be prepared for a disappointment.

I find that if a chapter at a school like UGA DOES take sophs/juniors, they're girls they already know.

I do know that UGA had some spring informal last year and that a few chapters (don't know which) took some sophs and juniors, but there is no guarantee that they'll be doing it again this year.

Even if they were, every chapter only takes a handful of girls and there's no guarantee of a bid.

Thanks for the semi-productive response.

I'm sorry if you want someone to tell you "GO FOR IT! You'll totally get a bid!"

This isn't that kind of forum.

We're being realistic.

A junior at UGA is not going to have an easy time.

I originally posted without expecting this thread to become a venting place for everyone who probably shouldn't have read it to begin with. If you don't like it, I understand, but posting about how you "hate people like me" doesn't get any of us anywhere. I wanted an honest response about my chances, so thanks for those of you who have posted something informative for me and others who are in my position.

I'd like to think I have been quite informative.

UGA recruitment is quite competitive and it's a tough environment for a junior who may not have relationships with any current sorority women, recommendations, etc. It just is.

If you're prepared for that, then go for it. At least you know what you're up against.

but that's the thing, we HAVE BEEN posting "something informative" for people in "your position." "Your position," however, has become everyone's "position," and its hardly unique.

So I can agree, this was a semi-productive thread, and it's on your part because you couldve taken the time to read what's already there. That wouldve given you the "honest response" you were looking for.

(and sidenote: i feel like i need to add the "i just wanted an honest response" to the GC newbie poster checklist." all in favor?)

wow, you guys need to get a life. Look, I posted a "greek" question on a "greek chat" forum. All of the recent posts questioning chances for getting bids were about people who are married, or freshmen who are 19, etc. None that apply to me. Maybe threads from days/weeks ago were similar to mine, but sorry, I don't really care to search that far back when I can simply create a new post! If I had known posting such a thing (God forbid) would've created such a backlash, I wouldn't have posted it. So, I apologize to all that I have irked, but seriously, if you don't have anything informative to say, why post?

Sorry, sweet pea, but I call 'em like I see 'em. If you think going through recruitment, even if you don't get a bid, is a waste of time, then by all means don't go through. Just be aware that you're wasting your time right now.

Also, and this is a general comment, I'm sick and freaking tired of seeing PNMs say "well I read the boards and blah blah blah" and then turning around and asking the SAME FREAKING QUESTION that people didn't answer the first time. Either your reading comprehension skills are low or you didn't read the boards.
