HELP! Can I rush a new sorority!?

[Barbie's_Rush]

They DO have a chapter, but I have met with the girls and we just don't fit perfectly.

How would the girls at my new school know I had ever joined a sorority? I know it's skummy but could I just rush anyways?

Do you really think the sisters you've already met with and deemed not up to your standards will forget your face when they see you prancing through rush at your new school? Do you really think they don't know people in other chapters and won't share that little tidbit about your prior affiliation?

So simple. You register for recruitment, your name is spotted on the list by someone in the chapter. Chapter president makes a quick call to the Panhellenic advisor and you are dunskies. It's a shame that reality can't be as drama-filled as I'd like.

Honestly.

They MET you and they KNOW you're an ABC.

It really is that simple.

no. the problem is actually that they are very perticular with the types of girls they choose to join their chapter and I don't think they'd choose to vote me in.

How many times did you meet with them? It's hard to determine whether these women like you if you have only met with them once.

First off, at your school you have to wait a year after DEPLEDGING (as in, you are still a pledge when you quit, not an initiated sister) to rush/join another organization. I guarantee you that people at your school cannot join another group after they have already been initiated into another one.

no. the problem is actually that they are very particular with the types of girls they choose to join their chapter and I don't think they'd choose to vote me in.

Try hanging out with them for more than 2.5 seconds. They may be more like you than you think. I realize that sometimes you do go from a really good fit to a really bad fit, but if you knew you were transferring you should have just not rushed at the first school to begin with.

P.S. If you're going from a very laid-back sort of school to a school with a very competitive rush/Greek system...it is more than likely that the girls in all the chapters will be more alike than different. So even if you could rerush, the girls in the other sororities would probably be just as "particular."

All you can do is try. I would not second-guess them. Look at it this way -- if they are prepared to accept you as a member of their chapter, why wouldn't you return their sisterly regard and give them a chance? If they won't accept you, then take early alum status and investigate other campus clubs and organizations.

You are only in charge of yourself. You can't control the actions of others. Act in an honorable way, and let the chips fall where they may. Think of it as a character-building exercise.
