And - if FSUZeta's information is correct, recruitment is during the winter so the OP would only have one semester/half a year of membership.

Maybe not such a great plan?

She could still possibly join a chapter through informal recruitment if there are chapters not at total in the fall, if the 12 class hours are any-college hours and not The U hours.

Hi there! I'm an American currently living in the UK. First off, you won't loose touch quickly if you are only around for a year! There are TONS of sorority women living overseas (in fact a lot of sororities have Virtual Alumnae Groups that help keep these sisters connected!). I also know that DG has a London Alumnae Group as well.

Anyway, it's definitely not ideal to be around only for a year, but not impossible and it gives the chapters a unique opportunity to network world-wide.

I wrote some recommendations for a young Brit who was doing a 1 year exchange program at Berkeley and she rushed successfully. I would definitely recommend talking to the Director of Greek Life about your unique circumstances. Panhellenic may be able to vote to allow you to be a "quota addition" - to allow you to pledge without taking the spot of someone who would be there for 4 years should you get a bid.

Where in England are you? Let me know if you have any additional questions/need help. I'm in Gloucestershire.

Thanks Whitedaisy and angels&angels! I have checked the handbook for greek life at Miami, and it says that exchange students are allowed to rush in the fall semester. Should I still speak to the greek life office anyway though, to request that I pledge as a quota addition? How likely to you think it is that I would be granted a quota addition status?

In answer to your question, I live in Sussex, in Brighton. Where abouts in Gloucestershire are you?

Ty! x

Quota doesn't apply in the fall, because it will not be formal rush. You should, however, still contact the GL office to let them know of your interest. They will be able to either tell you which chapters are conducting fall recruitment, or pass your name along to those chapters so they can get in touch with you.
