Going thru Rush as a Sophomore/Junior

[33girl]

I think SC Honey is right - it's a financial issue. If you have a 70 person house to fill, you want to pledge as many people as possible who will be there for as long as possible - that is, freshmen. And if Greek life is popular and you can, you will.

At smaller schools, with less popular Greek systems and without big houses, I echo what everyone else has said - your class year really doesn't matter at all.

I think the emphasis on freshmen at the sophs'/juniors' expense is cruddy too, but then again, I've never had to fill a 70 person house.
