I didn't think I was ever going to transfer until now so that's why I decided to "rush". I was wondering if going to a school where I know absolutely no one would be good for me to be in a sorority already (transferring into the chapter there) or if I should not be initiated here and just do Fall recruitment there to possibly meet more people? I'm very confused on my situation and any feedback will help. Thank you.

So did you receive bid since this last post?

So this was my first year at Blinn in Bryan (I'm a freshman), I recently got accepted to Texas A&M for next fall! SO EXCITED. Anyways, I graduated high school a year early so I'll be 18 until next December. I really want to rush this coming Fall, and I heard it's somewhat difficult for sophomores? My brother is in one of the top Fraternity's at TAMU so I know a lot of his girl-friends in sororities here who have really made me want to rush! Also, I want to keep the tradition going for Greek in my family. I would have a lot of rec letters! I'm just wondering if it will be tough for me since I will be a young sophomore to get a bid anywhere next semester?!

Thanks and Gig Em

Also, I am not sure what you mean by "spring 'dirty rush'" . Are you saying that you were extended a bid outside formal recruitment? There's such a thing as "informal reccuitment" or "COB" - "Continuous open bidding". I would definitely get the terminology right, regardless of what choices you make. The term "dirty rush" implies something very different.

I've heard of schools using the term "dirty rush" in a very different connotation from what most of us think of. I didn't think SMU was one of them though.

Lol. I can barely see the screen and just caught the M part. At any rate, I didn't think they were a school that said it either.

Yes! Dirty rush doesn't = quick and dirty (i.e. non-formal recruitment). It means you're doing things against the rules. Don't say that you dirty rushed!
