Mine gave really hilarious pep talks!! I think one thing that really helped me was to not have your heart set on one specific house, which might be hard to do after already spending a year in college, but to think of multiple houses you can see yourself in.
Although there is probably one house that is the best fit, it really helped me to stay as open-minded as possible. This ended up meaning way more to me, because I felt like I really clicked with each girl I talked to, and it meant they liked me and wanted me for me, not who I knew or what connections I could pull.
I think at the end of the day, that is so important to a successful rush experience as well as sorority experience down the road. I also think it is still just as important to put as much prep work as possible in on the front end, because being prepared helped me forget about the technicalities and logistics of rush and instead focus on being my best self and the process ahead of me.
How did it feel when you received the exciting news! Whoops — definitely added spoilers in the previous questions. After all the worrying, I ended up getting a bid from Kappa Delta, which was actually one of my top choices going in!! So far it has been absolutely wonderful, and I am having so much fun becoming part of an organization that is so much bigger than myself.
The girls are so wonderful and I have really felt loved and at home so far!! Tagged with: Clemson Sorority Recruitment , sophomore rush , sorority recruitment , sorority rush. This is a unique website which will require a more modern browser to work! Please upgrade today! They honestly only care about your GPA and that you pay the recruitment registration fee…. So if you want to get matched with sorority women who would be a good fit with your personality and interests, then you need to be detailed and spend some quality time filling it out.
So smile! And after you do your spring cleaning, try posting a few nice photos of yourself throughout the summer before recruitment or even do an Instagram story or two. However, if you can, try to find another upperclassman who is also going through recruitment at your school and befriend her. Unfortunately, the older you get, the less opportunities you get to go through sorority recruitment.
With that being said, you need to realize that if Rush does not go your way or you get released from recruitment early, this may be your last chance to join a sorority.
And there may be even better clubs or extracurriculars that fit your personality, lifestyle, and interests better than a sorority. Because it really is a great experience and I think any woman who is even a little bit curious about sorority life should go through it. At the end of the day, every woman, regardless of grade level, is on their own journey to finding the perfect sisterhood for them.
And if a sorority loves you and sees potential in you, you will get a Bid. I truly hope this blog post about rushing as a sophomore has given you the insight and the confidence boost you need to thrive during sorority recruitment. Good luck!

The doors opened and I walked into a room filled with lights, decorations and sorority women filled with excitement. A sister greeted me and walked me to a part of the room where we could talk. The conversation lasted about two minutes until I finally had the courage to tell her that I was a sophomore and was worried that I missed out on a year of involvement.
The woman instantly reassured me that she went through recruitment as a sophomore too! When I heard that, my heart flew out of my chest. From the moment I was initiated, I was partaking in anything I could do. I joined a committee, took on leadership roles and went to as many events as I could. I received just as much experience as I had if I had joined as a freshman. In fact, joining sophomore year gave me that mindset of getting involved with AST. I only had two years left of sorority life as a collegian, so I wanted to make the best of it.
I am happy that I joined a sorority my sophomore year because it gave me time to fully adjust to college life and prepare for the sorority experience. It is a lifelong experience that I am still enjoying after graduation. Interested in blogging for us?
