Rushing as a Junior

[BDPDTD]

A fraternity or sorority thrives on new members. Junior, senior, super senior, or whatever you are, groups should happily accept you. In the phire it up rush manuel it even encourages us to take these kinds of people. If anything, your pledge class will welcome an Upper classman in their group. I was 21 when I became a Delt and a junior and my life experience among my younger pledge brothers was welcome. I was elected into exec right away because of my life experience and even plan to continue working closely with my brothers right up until I graduate law school. It should not be a problem. Dues and active involvement are valid, no matter what your age is.

I don't think you understand the OP's scenario. It is not like this and whatever you just said does not apply to her situation.

This is TOTES not the case for Sorority Recruitment, ESPECIALLY sorority recruitment at a competitive SEC school.

Every chapter on campus will have thousands of women to choose from and a very, very limited number of spots. Why would they fill a spot with someone who will only be there for two years when they can fill it with someone who will be around for four?

Sorority Recruitment, at an SEC school, is not the same as fraternity rush at any type of school. While upperclassmen "should" be accepted (which is debatable anyway), they are not always accepted. In fact, they are not mostly accepted, either, just sometimes.

EDIT: I obviously should not have taken the time to use italics, as I was beat not once but twice!
