33 girl, My daughter was also interested in auditioning for color guard, and band camp is the same time as rush. That is why she thought Sophomore year might be a good time for recruitment. Is it possible to be in band and a GLO?

I'm not from Bama - just have learned over time on GC that anyone going there who wants to rush has a better chance if they're a first semester freshman. Deferring to someone from there who knows more about the band issue.

And yeah, as OTW said, if she has band camp one year, she'll have it every year, no matter when she rushes. That does sound like both groups are pretty much saying "pick one."

At Bama, I think most would say that your BEST chance at recruitment is freshman year.

Thanks for your help. She has a few months to decide which route to take before spring events. I already know alumae in all but 3 GLOs, so we can get the recs for most. Also as she is a DG legacy, she could always take a shot at the colony if DG does decide to recolonize in 2011 or beyond. Looks like Alpha Phi was successful in colonizing, and hopefully DG will be as well.
