Thinking about rushing as a Sophomore? HELP!

Okay, well say I just want to be in a sorority at all. Is THAT unrealistic to do at UofA as a sophomore? And if you know someone in a sorority and you want to tell them ahead of time that you're rushing for them, is that a good idea? Or is that just weird?

Do not do this.

Especially if this is formal recruitment we are talking about.

They'll be weirded out.

Sophomores at the UofArizona can and have gotten bids. However, as a sophomore I wouldn't go in with your mind made up as to which chapter(s) you're "rushing". With formal recruitment, it is very important to go into it with an open mind and be willing to accept the invitations that you receive. Arizona has 11 wonderful groups.

All that being said, it is also important to get recommendations. Here's where you go to your friends that are in a sorority and tell them you're going to go thru formal recruitment and would they be willing to write a recommendation for you. You also need to check with friends, mothers of friends, your mother's friends, your parent's co-workers, women at your place of worship, and teachers to see if any of them are greek and would be willing to write a recommendation.
