fraternities open to 3rd years this spring rush.
by: springrush
Hey all, 3rd year transfer student here. Rushed Sigma Chi in the fall, didn't get a bid, but got a bid from a fraternity that I didn't really vibe with. Winter rush came along but had to sit out due to surgery.
So any fraternities that are willing to give 3rd years a bid? And should I bother giving Sigma Chi another look? I liked them, and a few brothers I talked to told me I just didn't talk to enough people and that I should give it another shot in the spring, but I feel like the odds are really against me there as a junior.

You really should keep an open mind regarding other fraternities. If Sig Chis didn't give you a bid the first time, I can't imagine why you'd bother going back the second time. Apparently, there were some bros there that didn't vibe with you, which personally would be a red flag. I wouldn't want to join a group that don't want me as their brother. I suggest you give 4-6 other fraternities a chance because being in a fraternity will make your college career more memorable. Besides, being in a greek organization is what you make of it - not what you get out of it.

All three are good houses and will enhance your UCSD experience. Normally you can rush 3-4 houses and reasonably expect to get a couple bids, but if SigChi is in your future, that number comes down to 2 at most. Those guys are notoriously selective and require you to meet and leave an impression on 80% of their guys. Keep an open mind and you will find a home somewhere.

plenty of Guys in sigma chi had to rush twice. Don't worry about not getting a bid your first time around. If you meshed with some of the guys do your best to meet more and you'll have a much better chance of getting a bid. Good luck and I hope you do decide to come back out!

I'm a third year who got initiated as a 3rd year. It's actually not uncommon. It's also not uncommon for people to rush twice and get a bid the second time. It really is just about having as many quality conversations as possible - we won't give a bid to a guy we don't know, but we won't exclude anyone for rushing twice or being older.
