Recruitment Advice

[IndianaSigKap]

Having been an advisor on a commuter campus, I would agree that Greek life looks much different on a commuter campus than a campus with traditional student housing. At my campus and another in our area, being a junior was not necessarily a detriment. It all depends on you and how you present yourself. Some chapters would rather take a very polished upperclassman than a hot mess, all over the place freshman. Again, depends on the chapter and campus. But pledging as a junior with your GPA is a possibility, but you must go into recruitment knowing that not every chapter on campus will be interested. The lack of interest isn't personal, so don't take it as such. Each chapter will have set goals about its ideal pledge class. One chapter may have high GPA as its main criteria, while another chapter may be looking or leadership, while another may be looking for volunteer hours. We have no way of knowing and neither will you. Give it a try and put your best self out there! Best wishes!
