spring vs fall?

give it a shot. your options are gonna be limited in the spring.

Sophomore here, assyming youre a freshman, I would advise to to rush in the fall. I regret not rushing in my first year because unless you live in a super talkative dorm and get lucky, it is hard to make friends. Greek life is . a big thing here and its better to rush now and not regret it because spring is not the same. You hardly even get anything special and you miss out on gamedays and such if you dont rush in the fall. So my advice is to just pay and try it out, if it doesnt work out then try later but its worth it!

Just do it ! I rushed last year as a sophomore and regretted not doing it as a freshman just because it's mostly freshman and u make soooo many friends while rushing ! If u don't want a house in the end that's 100% okay but I say it's worth the money and by spring u can have an idea of what house u may like or wait again till the fall and u would then have a leg up because u know how rush works

This is the kind of question you should have already asked your coach.

How many friends you make during recruitment is all up to you. Do you want to invite a girl in your group to grab lunch with you, or will you eat by yourself? Get someone's number and ask if they want to grab coffee with you before home base? Personally, I didn't make any friends through rush just because it's already so tiring that I wasn't trying to meet people on the side. A better question is, if you're 90% sure you won't accept a bid to any house, why would you want to rush? Rush is ONLY worth it if you end up in a house you love. It's long and tiring. That said, I strongly agree with everyone who suggested you rush as a freshman in fall. If you really have to, though, Spring is an option, but pledge classes are extremely small, between like 6-12. You'll likely end up in a "lower tier" house in spring than you would in your freshman fall (you'll likely be in a lower tier if you rush as a sophomore, too), but I would take an extra semester in a lower tier house with a close knit PC over rushing as a sophomore and potentially facing heavy cuts in a much more difficult recruitment process. Whatever you decide, good luck!
