AzTheta, thanks so much! Like I said, I'm really trying to ignore all the rumors.

I'm starting to figure out that those rumors are just rumors & nothing more. (Better late than never, right?)
My GPA is higher than all of the house averages so I'm hoping that it will help outweigh the fact that I'm not coming in as a freshman. I'm also planning on attending med school at my University so I'll be here for a while! One thing that I'm worried about is that I wasn't as involved last year as I would have liked, especially compared to everything I did in high school. (Which is one reason I want to rush, I DEFINITELY want to become much more involved in things!) I'm from a small town (we're talking like barely 1,000 people) & small high school so freshman year was really an adjustment time for me. (Main reason I waited to rush- I wanted to be sure I could handle everything.)
Do you think that this will hurt me a lot? Will the sororities even look at everything I did in high school since I'm not a freshman?

From personal experience, medical school is very different than graduate school. The course work is so rigorous that you will NOT have time to function as an active member of your sorority. It will be nice to have sisters close by, but I wouldn't count on being at chapter meetings and every event once you graduate and go on to medical school. You really won't have the time.
