rushing as a sophomore?
by: PNMI considered rushing last year, but now that I'm a freshman on campus I'm seriously thinking about rushing this fall. Thoughts? Are chapters as open to sophomores joining as they are to freshmen?

Yes, definitely try! My sorority is old row and took some sophomores. All had very high GPAs, so your 4.0 will be a plus. On a kind of side note, my mother does a lot of recs and mostly for PNMs at SEC schools. She's been doing them for years, but said she and members of her alumnae group saw more sophomores in the SEC (and at FSU) get bids this past fall than they had ever seen before.

How do you recommend getting letters of rec? I'm a legacy for phi mu, so that is the only one I'd know how to get. I from out of state too, so It's gonna be hard for me to get to know the actives before rush week:/
Advice please

This is some info from our Panhellenic website about recs. www.uapanhellenic.com/letters-of-recommendation.html
Sorority alumnae send them in and they don't have to be from the chapters at Alabama. They could have gone to school anywhere, so start asking! Any woman who went to a four year school might have a sorority affiliation. Your teachers are a good place to start. Women you know from a job, church, neighborhood, friends parents, your parent's co-workers -- really anyone. Several of my friends got recs after their mom's posted on FB that they needed them. They were surprised at how many of their moms' friends were alumnae.
You can also contact alumnae groups in your hometown or as close to it as possible. Individual sororities have them but there are also Panhellenic ones. For example, I know PNMs from Georgia who got help from the Atlanta Alumnae Panhellenic Association.
The ladies doing your recs will need a copy of your transcript, a resume and a classy photo or two. They'll take it from there and submit them. Good luck!

Get started on finding them now.You really need recs here, like all the other PNMs here do. Remember, we're the biggest sorority recruitment in the nation, so lots of girls are asking alumnae for help. Many have cut-off points and will send in only a certain number, so you want to get on their list. I learned this before I went through recruitment and was really stressing over a few because I waited until summer to start trying to find them. My bad! They don't have to send them in right this minute, but definitely start looking and contacting them as soon as you can.

Do you have to know people in the house to get in as a sophomore? I really don't know many greek women. I didn't rush last year and I have a 4.0, but the girls in sororities that I know don't know me well so I'm not sure what kind of impression I've made, if any. I could also just wait for Sigma Kappa where I'm a legacy, but I'd be a Junior by then and I'd rather get in it sooner.

You will be TOTALLY fine. Someone is definitely going to take you, and with a 4.0 it's going to be a great house. Also, I mean recs can sometime help a little, but they aren't totally necessary. I got in a old row house without knowing anyone or having any recs so it's okay if you can't find one for one house. Good luck :)

No sorority HAS to take upperclassmen.
All sororities have the OPTION of taking them. Most take a few. Even so-called old-row.
It's all about who you know in the sorority.
