Texas A&M Rush as a Sophomore

[adpiucf]

I'm going to caution you not to hang out too much with the Greeks at your school for the simple reason that you will make a fool of yourself at a party or a bar where they are present. The lower the profile you maintain the better.

If you happen to make Greek friends in the course of your daily life through classes or organizations you join, then those are good contacts. Don't just start going to Sig Ep house parties or LXA's Watermelon Bust in the hope of making connections with sorority girls. It will backfire.

As others have said, you need to make sure you have recs and know coming in that you are going to have far fewer options than you would have as a freshman. Go in with an open mind expecting heavy cuts and stick it out through the end. Here is the thing about sororities: every campus has their top, middle, and bottom chapters. Realistically, every chapter has 50-150 members, and you can't find a niche in ANY group that size then, no, sorority life is not for you.

As a sophomore, consider that you are rushing to join the Greek System and get involved with Greek Life. Take the bid from the chapters that are available to you if you want to experience sorority life because you will not get your pick of the litter second time around. I would actually suggest this to any freshman, too. Seriously, if can get along with a group of people, then you can be comfortable in any sorority. Unless you're overly opinionated or have an over inflated sense of self. Take advantage of the opportunity to be a Greek if the opportunity presents itself.
