Switching from a Local Sorority to a National One

[thetygerlily]

As long as you understand that there are no guarantees for a bid and that things may not coming out smelling like roses, I say go for it. You won't know unless you try. Things could blow up, big time, but maybe- just maybe- they wouldn't. It's hard to say when we don't really know the campus culture and how the local is perceived.

However... don't go through only for one group. You are already going to have a harder time because of your history with the local and potentially due to your age (some groups/schools care, some don't). What if this group cuts you on night one- would you drop out after going through so much effort to ensure you're eligible to go through? Keep an open mind and remember that it's a mutual selection process. You could wind up in that group, you could fall in love with another, or maybe not end up anywhere. So if you decide to go through recruitment, do it fully.
