Poster Message:
The reality is that your odds of getting a bid are greatly reduced, just like they are for sophomores. You could be a fantastic person, but houses want girls who will be dues-paying members for four years -- and you are competing against hundreds of freshmen. It can happen - as written by posters above - but good to be aware that it is nor common. And as someone else wrote you will get dropped by many houses immediately (top tier and some mid-tier) because of being a junior (happens to sophomores too). Lower tier houses are ore open to older girls and there are loads of great girls there - there truly are no "bad" houses at OM regardless of what some people say. If you have a chance to get a bid, take it. As long as you're aware of these odds - and know that it's not personal (heck, tons of girls get cut immediately after first round that are freshman), you can have a good rush and I hope you find a home!
