too late to rush?
by: Rising Senior
I'm going to be a senior this year, but I am finally in a place to afford our Greek Life. Is it too late for me to go through recruitment? Would any house ever choose to have a senior in their pledge class? I have a high GPA, I'm involved, and I know some girls in a couple different houses.
Thanks!

Honestly I don't think think many houses would take a senior. It just makes more sense to give a bid to someone who will be there for 3/4 years and will have the chance to take leadership roles around the house and will contribute more since they're there for longer. I know some juniors who got bids but I've never heard of a senior getting one

I've never heard of a senior pledging a sorority, let alone rushing. In all honesty, you probably might be released from rush. As someone above said, sororities prefer freshmen/sophomores because every girl they give a bid to is an investment... They would rather give a bid to a younger girl who will be there for 3-4 years rather than a girls while be there for 1-2 years. As I see it, you'd probably get released from recruitment even with your grades and involvement, or if anything maybe one or two lower ranked (not that tiers matter) houses might keep you.
But you need to see if sorority life is something you really want. Obviously, you've been financially held back, so is joining a sorority something just for your resume? Is it for the sisterhood? Is it for the social benefits? Just rush alone can get expensive so this is definitely something you should really think about.

Also, as a senior you are probably not going to bond super well with a bunch of freshman bc you already have the whole college thing figured out, and as a new member most of the stuff you do (swaps/ homecoming/ etc) you're going to be with your PC and maybe the sophomore PC. I know the reason my house cuts juniors/ seniors is because we just don't see them fitting in
