junior rush

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that regardless of your age, you will end up in the house you were meant to. I know everyone says that but like once you experience rush you will truly understand. The majority of houses will take juniors, and some take more than others typically. While some shy away, but this should not deter you from rushing whatsoever! When I recruited last year, I did not look at age as a factor. You do have a chance and just be yourself! Remember, you don't want a house that doesn't see the true value you in you! Best of luck in the fall! <3

Not at any decent house. The best houses want girls who will be there for 4 years. There are enough great girls that you really are at a huge disadvantage no matter if you are a Victoria secret model with an IQ of 200. Sorry but it's true.

I'm in what some people would consider a top house & in my PC & in many of friends houses a good number of juniors get bids! Don't be nervous! All you have to do is be yourself & you'll get a bid from the best fit for you, regardless of your year, good luck :)

I rushed as a junior and had a full schedule all the way through with houses in all tiers thru prefs. My bid was from the lower tier house Not my choice but I am still glad I joined. Do I wish I got the top or mid tier house that I wanted? Honestly, sometimes but the experience is still more than worth it and I have a lot of friends in my house. Would the result have been the same if I'd rushed as a sophomore? I'll never know but if you want the experience you aren't getting any younger so go for it

I rushed as a junior and the only top tier house that dropped me with KD. I ended up in a top tier house and love it , i think people that say it's WAY harder are ridiculous and just use being older as an excuse for getting dropped

That is ridiculous! What are you taking about? I rushed as a junior and I was 19! People are busy and involved in different things. I danced my first 2 years and didn't think I had time for both. As a senior I am a lot more committed then some of the upperclassmen that are burned out. If you are a quality girl who cares what class you are in. If there are 80 spots open each year wouldn't it be better to pick a quality junior than settling for a freshman bc they MIGHT stay involved for 4 years?

Don't listen to all the haters! I pledged as a junior and all that petty crap doesn't matter unless YOU make it a problem. you won't feel awkward unless you are insecure and you don't sound insecure You will have a good experience You are not too old. all the non-top tiers would do well to choose gorgeous juniors over mediocre freshmen anyway. Good luck!

for PNMS out there all those mean comments above well there is no way those were actually posted by someone who is in greeklife at UF...I have never met anyone who would speak like that

As someone of average looks, great personality (also not shy), and someone heavily involved holding positions in some of the biggest organizations on campus I was dropped. There is nothing wrong with me and I ended up happy when I went through another sororities (may that be pan or social) recruitment process and ended up where I am happy. They do choose underclassmen over upperclassmen and if you are not best friends or very close with a lot of sisters in a certain sorority than just keep your mind open that you might now get a bid. They all ask why you waited to rush and I had a good reason, wanted to get into my competitive major and get more involved before I did and sometimes that isn't a good enough reason. Just be positive through the process because it doesn't mean you aren't good enough!
