I don't think anyone here can answer that specific question with 100% certainty. Your best bet is to go for it! Manage your expectations and have a great time meeting people. Let us know how it goes!

If you don't participate, you're not going to get a bid! Do it!

I have a feeling that you will regret not rushing, if you don't do it. I also think you are over thinking things-things that are beyond your control right now. You need to complete your rush enrollment form NOW, gather up recommendations for each and every chapter at Bama ( really, really get on this RIGHT NOW) coordinate your rush outfits and breathe! Go to the beach, or the lake, or the mountains. Get together with friends home from school and laugh! Cook dinner for your parents as a surprise. Do some volunteer work. Do things that will keep you busy and not so wrapped up in worrying about your chances of getting a bid.

Enjoy the remainder of your summer and then ENJOY rush. The girls that can do that are usually more successful because the sororities can see the PNM's true self, how she would fit in to their chapters and what she might contribute to the chapter.

Although there is one house I do have my eye on, I wouldn't be upset if I didn't get that one. I don't expect to as a junior. Any place where I feel comfortable is good enough. (I'm a transfer student from a junior college) I am also concerned about my major. I do have a difficult major but I also am coming to Alabama not knowing a lot of people so I think this is a good opportunity to step out of my comfort zone. Just scared!!!

You don't have to keep creating multiple threads asking essentially the same thing. Stick to one.

Get recs for all of the chapters, maybe get two.

I'm new to the forum, I couldn't figure out how to get back to my original post, but I finally got it figured out. Thanks though!
