Not necessarily. While you can sign up for it the best way, I would think, is to be invited by someone you know in a sorority.

My daughter was a transfer sophomore who dropped out of rush last year before pref and 6 weeks later she met some XYZ girls and they started asking her if she would be interested in joining them and she said yes that they were one of her favorites during rush. They acted surprised that they had cut her before lol but anyway, they introduced her to some other members and she and a few other girls tagged along on a few events with them and all but one of those 4 girls accepted bids to join in November. The 4th wasn't offered a bid only because of her grades. And this is one of the sororities you hear about being a favorite on campus. She did find out later that at least 2 girls who accepted bids after regular rush had dropped out - 1 moved back home and another transferred to another school. Not sure if thats how they got in those spots or not but nevertheless, it worked out for the best and she loves it.

This is so true... pnms tend to think that when they get cut, the entire chapter is looking at pictures of them, enumerating their shortcomings even laughing at them or scorning them, when in reality, many of the members are not even fully aware of everyone who is cut. I can well believe that women in a large school who befriend a new potential member are surprised and perhaps even befuddled to find that she was cut by their own chapter during formal rush.

AuburnMom08, I love your daughter's story, and so glad you are here this year to show the craziness of the first year on the other side of rush. It is really NO easier to be on the other side, and in fact, just as difficult.

I hope that pref rounds go well and that we hear of some happy endings.

True...i think at schools with over a thousand girls going through recruitment, there is no possible way to remember every single girl your chapter cut! In my chapter, though, I remembered EVERY single girl who we cut, every girl who cut us and where every girl pledged. Only about 200 people went through rush each year so it wasn't so difficult. I wouldn't laugh at anyone, but I would admit to laughing at some of their pictures after staring at them for hours on end during bid sessions
