Rush Help. Rushing as a sophomore this fall.

[LaneSig]

To be honest, there are a lot of factors at play in your scenerio.

Being a sophomore: At many fraternities, this doesn't hurt as much as it does women going through rush. Just be prepared to explain why you didn't rush as a freshman. But, on many campuses it's usually not a big deal.

Being international: This might actually play into your favor with some groups. You'll be the brother with the British accent that all the girls like/think is cute. In grad school I had a friend with a French accent. All the sororities knew exactly which fraternity he belonged to.

Being a minority: In all honesty, in some groups it won't matter and in some groups it might. There's no way to tell.

You just have to go for it. You won't know until you try. The 3 groups you don't know anyone in? Check their websites and see if they have a rush chair that you can contact for information about Fall rush or summer parties. Good luck.
