Rushing as a transfer...
Hi!
I've spent some time going back and forth regarding whether or not I want to rush a sorority. As a transfer student (junior), I know my chances of getting a bid at the University of Tennessee are less then the chances of an incoming freshman. I have the GPA - 3.5 - and a host of activities to my credit and I can honestly say it's the philanthropy side of sorority life that is the most appealing to me. Not to mention that I'm transfering as an out of state student who won't know a soul on campus and I'm all about meeting people. I'm rather social in that manner.
But as a transfer student, I don't know that rushing at a competitive school is a great idea. I'm the first in my family to go to college and finding people to write recs for me isn't the easiest task, simply because I've been raised in a rural town.
Basically, I'm looking for advice as to whether or not I should go through with Rush. I WANT to but as a transfer student, I'm a little iffy as to what I should do.
Thanks for any help you can offer me!
