It touches a nerve here when PNMs ask about "good" sororities, because all sororities offer the same opportunities for sisterhood and lifelong involvement. Alumnae may be offended if PNMs feel they're not interested in a chapter of their sorority on a particular campus, due to some perception of what's "good" or "not good."

That being said, you will never know unless you try. Obtain recommendations for each of the sororities, including a legacy recommendation for Delta Gamma. Again, avoid using the word "good" or passing judgment on certain groups -- obtain recs for every sorority and be thankful to each alumna for her assistance in helping present you to her sorority.

Call the Greek Life office and ask about any upperclass quota, and if they have any knowledge of how challenging it is to receive a bid as a junior transfer. There aren't any guarantees, but information is power, and it doesn't hurt to ask. Do you have any friends in sororities or personal contacts who may be familiar with College of Charleston?

Most importantly, keep an open mind to all groups. While we don't know anything about the personal characteristics and strengths you have to offer a sorority, rushing as a junior is typically more challenging, and there may be groups who are more focused on freshmen.
