junior rush

Jesus. Give it a chance before you decide to drop. At this point, you have the best of what you're going to get. I know it sucks sometimes getting a house that you weren't initially in love with... That was my case. I rushed as a freshman and only had one house on pref and said house was one of "my bottom" houses. And I seriously understand where you're coming from. You see so many other girls fawn over their sororities and it makes you feel bad because you wish that could be you... BUT IT TAKES TIME. Yes there are girls who get their favorite houses but trust me there are lots more girls that are disappointed.

As I said, at this point you've got the best of what you could get. Beggers can't be choosers and rush as a junior is VERY uncommon and houses do not want upperclassmen. EVERY house here is amazing. You need to keep in mind that sorority life is a two way street - you get out what you put in. Are you actively trying to meet new girls? Are you choosing to sit alone during meetings, lunch, etc? Are you passing up opportunities with people to hang out? Try harder.

Yes, chances are you will be automatically cut as a junior because 1) you are a junior, 2) houses will know you were given a bid as a sophomore and after accepting the bid dropped them and 3) you would be taking a spot from someone who would be in the house ($dues) for 3-4 years.

The ONLY girl I know who rushed as a Junior went DG. She rushed last year and she spent the prior two years getting an associates degree from a different school. I also know she had full schedules as well. Obviously this is completely dependent on who you are as a person. In her case, she had amazing grades and was extremely involved at her past school. My advice is to just stick it out.

All the houses except one are about the same size. If you can't make friends in your house it's even more unlikely that you'll make friends in a house your junior year. When you're all freshman you have a lot in common. By jr year most girls have their good friends and don't make as much effort. So... my suggestion is to knock yourself out making friends in the house you're in and forget about dropping and trying again later. You're lucky to have a house in my opinion and you should do your best to keep it.

OMG🙄

And just what makes you think you'll get a bid to a "better" house as a junior?? If they weren't interested in you as a sophomore, they sure as hell won't be interested in you as a junior.

If you want to be in a sorority, your best and only chance is to stick with the one you pledged. And if you can't make even a few friends in a pledge class with 140+ girls, that's on you....not your sorority.
