She doesn't seem like the lying type, but i guess i will see. At this point there is no point in worrying about something I can't change.

She gave you a recruitment answer. It's rare that an NPC/IFC member will say "lol no you can't join because you're old." You'll get something like:
"We look at all of our candidates fairly and equally. We have had members join in the past as Juniors, so you have just as much chance at getting a bid as a Freshman does."

Good luck.

That isn't how she said it though. I mean she really stressed the fact that i had nothing to worry about. This was while having a casual conversation. I guess you would have had to be there. Either way I guess I will see what happens. Thanks!

People are full of shit so often in these types of conversations because they don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Take it with a grain of salt. Also, no single person can guarantee you getting a bid. Otherwise, my oldest and dearest friend wouldn't have been cut by my sorority when she rushed as a sophomore.

A word of advice, you really need to stop the frequent posting and do some more reading on the SORORITY recruitment threads. Newbies with who start posting a ton often get called trolls. Read more, then ask more later.

That is true, but she has brought it up to me without me mentioning it so i don't think that was the case. It really depends on whether or not the school is competitive i hear. Like i said i will see soon enough.

i've posted 3. I wouldn't call that a ton and i just have a lot of questions. This can be a bit overwhelming. And okay i will use more of the search engine then. Thank you!

Stop arguing with people here about recs and upperclassmen getting bids. You asked for advice. The people who have offered it are much wiser and more experienced in this area than you. So if you don't want to hear what they have to say, don't ask.
The advice you've gotten is basically be polite and smile, don't get too cocky, and get recs. Take it or leave it.
