Hi I'm a sophomore and I've been interested in going greek since freshman year but everything didn't work as planned. I had a really tough time with my grades freshman year and barely made the GPA requirement to rush. I decided to still go through with it but ended up not accepting the bid i was offered because I decided (as well as my parents) that I needed to seriously focus on my grades. This year I've brought them up significantly and I just really regret that I didn't accept my bid. So I was thinking about rushing again but I was wondering how much this will affect me? It's hard enough getting into a house at my school to begin with and I've heard it's nearly impossible to get in as a sophomore. I just really feel like this is an experience I'm missing out on. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks (:

Yes. IUGirl edit your post for your anonymity, especially name and major. :-) I went through recruitment at IU as a sophomore, as did another GCer. Yes, it can be difficult but not impossible. Also, don't forget Delta Phi Epsilon will be colonizing in January and they will want to take women of all grades. Being a founding member is something most women don't get to experience.

I know a lot of girls at IU who rushed as sophomores who had successful recruitments. Some of them were rushing for the first time, but some were re- rushing. Yes its competitive, but you got a bid the first time and now that your grades are better hopefully you will again! I think the most important thing is to just be honest with the houses and tell them what happened. They will be glad that you worked hard to get your grades up!
I wish you the best of luck! And I know everyone here would be interested in your recruitment story when the time comes if you feel like sharing
