I'm pretty desperate for more friends. The sorority I am a member of is NOT on my current campus. I know that according to to NPC rules, once you are a member of a NPC sorority, you are never allowed to rush again. However, I really want to make new friends and am worried I'll graduate without a great network of girls. Greek Life is fairly popular at my school, and I've asked the Director of Greek Life/ NPC Nationals/ Panhellenic Board, but I've heard that membership for life is really strict. Is there any way to get around this? NO Would I get caught if I rushed a new sorority? YES
Thanks in advance for your help!

I empathize with your situation, but unfortunately there are no special exceptions.
There is a campus (I want to say Boise State?) that has a special co-ed group for fraternity and sorority member transfer students in the same situation. They join in for Greek Week and they have recognized student group status. I've always thought that's a great idea, and I wish more campuses would do this. Perhaps you could try to get something like that going?
