cob advice

by: general confusion   

If I am interested in trying to join a sorority through COB, when should I submit the form? I know most who COB will do so in the spring, but is it better to submit the form now or wait? As in would there be a chance in being contacted before next semester? Also, if I am a freshman, what would I fill in for the GPA blank (first semester freshman-don't have one yet)? And if I would like to send recs, how/when would I do that if I don't know who is participating until I'm (hopefully) contacted by them?

Not sure about when to submit the form, but I'm pretty sure at this point you won't be contacted until December/January anyways, I think gpa you can put n/a or your high school (let them know it's your high school though), and I'm not sure about rec letters sorry

Ok, so you can send in the form whenever you choose to, but like @helper said, you probably won't be contacted until December/January because initiation has already taken place for this fall's NM classes, and I doubt many houses would take NMs now and then have to scramble to initiate you by the end of this semester. But there's always a possibility. You should put your HS GPA on the form (and make sure you say it's your HS GPA), or, if you decide to wait to send it in, you can use your GPA from this semester at Bama. You really need to be making lots of good connections with girls in ALL sororities, because you don't know who will participate, and they will be more likely to contact you if they already know/have heard of you. You can go ahead and get recs for as many houses as you can; those that aren't participating just won't need them, but it will only help you, especially if you don't have many connections to sisters in the houses. Also, you can look at last spring's grade reports online and you can see who took NMs last spring to give you an idea, but just know that that might change this year. When this fall's grade reports are published (which won't be for a while, obviously) you can look at how many members each house has-total is now 390, and any group under that is eligible for COB/Spring Recruitment. Good luck!!

Thanks for the great advice! So if I get letters of rec, is it weird to send them now or should I wait or how should I go about that exactly?
