Is rushing out of the question for me?

You came here for advice and you got it.

We're sorry it's not the happy happy joy joy you were looking for. Or the specific advice on a situation that we've been asked about nearly 90 times.

If you're looking for ponies and rainbows, we're all out.

I'm sorry! Did I ever say you were rude? Have I not repeatedly said that I have read the other threads?

Dear Wide-eyed: As other people have said, it can be hard going through as a junior and it does vary from campus to campus. I am a member of an NPC group and my daughter went through recruitment last fall and joined a different group at the same SEC school. There is one junior in her pledge class who went to one party the last three days of recruitment. She is a great girl and when I have seen her with her sisters, she seems to be always smiling. If you don't try, you will always wonder if you should have. If you do try and don't wind up with a bid, you haven't lost anything. If you do find a home with a group you enjoy, great! The greek advisor should be able to tell you recruitment statistics, such as placement numbers, number of upperclassmen placed, etc. Keep an open mind and good luck!
