Rushing as a Junior GW
 

Hey there,

I'm a sophomore transfer at GW. Didn't rush this past Fall, really wasn't in to it and just wanted to get a feel for the school. Transferred from a CC in Pennsylvania so I wasn't around sororities and stuff. Tried my hand at Spring Rush at one of the top houses that I really like and didn't get a bid. They took a junior and two sophomores, all transfers, in the Fall and everyone was saying they just wanted freshmen.

Still really interested in rushing. Thoughts on rushing as a junior? I know it's harder but any tips? Anyone sucessfully rush as a junior?

It's possible -- a few juniors get bids every year -- but you'll need to switch your focus away from the "top" houses. Not every chapter takes juniors.

Also, remember that just because the campus reputation of a house is "top," it doesn't mean that it's the right place for you. Give all the houses and chance–*you never know which one you will click with most. Good luck with recruitment! :)
