Rushing as a senior?

[k8ybug]

I've read a couple threads about this, but none of the stories seem to resonate with mine so I figured I would tell my story and get some advice. I am going to be a senior this coming fall, and I want to rush. The reason I "waited" til senior year is because money has been a really rough thing for my family, and my brother was just awarded a scholarship that fully covers the last couple years of his education, so I can actually afford to be in a sorority. I would be doing informal rush. I just have a lot of friends who are Greek and they are always raving about how much they love being in sororities, and I've always been drawn to the ideals, traditions, and sisterhood that a sorority offers. It's just never been a real possibility for me until now, I always had to sacrifice my desire to rush. Would a sorority even accept me at this point? I feel like a lot of them would be suspicious of a senior rushing. Any advice anyone could give would be helpful!
