Sophomore Recruitment at LU

[LUSoph]

Hi, I'm not really sure how this works, but hopefully I'm not breaking any rules by saying where I go to school.

I am a sophomore at Lehigh University, where we have a pretty big greek system for the size of our school. I am registered for formal recruitment in the spring and will be returning to campus early for that.

Although I was interested in joining a sorority my freshman year I did not rush because none of my close friends rushed and I did not want my friendships with them to change. I later came to somewhat regret that decision once when i saw how much all the other freshman who did join houses seemed to enjoy it. I decided to rush this spring (as did two of my close friends and a fair number of other sophomores) and am very excited about it. I was just wondering if you think I have an okay chance of receiving a bid as a sophomore. Also, I never know what to say when sisters ask why I didn't rush last year. Any suggestions about that or rushing in general?

Thanks!
