Do these 3 things play a role in rush?
Year, race and the size of the school.
Year.
I am a freshman and can't wait to rush 2nd semester. I've been doing research lately... I even went to the bookstore and the guy who was helping me was wearing his letters! So of course I was talking to him about greek life and he told me that I have a 99% chance because I am a freshman. He said that sororities and fraternities like to recruit freshmen because by their 3rd and 4th year they will have the ability and knowledge to take over when upperclassmen graduate. Is this true? Do I really have a good chance because I am a freshman?
Race.
I am an african-american and I have my eye on a few sororites that are not african-american. I was wondering about the difference it could make. Of course I will still look at the african-american sororities, i have just talked to the ladies and didn't like the vibe they gave me. And I also wonder why I don't see many african-americans or just diversity in the greek life. Or are they just never found during recruitment week?
and lastly,
School Size.
I attend a private, liberal arts college in Virginia. There are only 1,500 undergraduates and I was wondering if this would make a huge different in rushing. To those who attend a small college like mine: Is rushing less competitive? Is there a smaller number of rushees given bids?
Thanks for taking the time to read and answer this.
