i'm probably transferring to nyu next year
by: Junior TransferI will be a junior transfer next year. The school I'm at now doesn't have a greek system, so I never joined. Would it be worth my time to Rush or is everyone going to drop me because of my age? Also, if I get accepted will I be the only Junior in my pledge class? I really want to join a sorority, but don't want to waste my time or anyone else's time.

I'm going to be completely honest... there was a thread like this before too btw so check that out. ZTA, DPhiE, AEPhi almost never accept juniors. It's a numbers things and also a loyalty thing. We like for girls to be here the whole time. I met quite a few juniors and transfers when I rushed and they're now at AST, KKG, or PiPhi (not too many in piphi though).
Be warned: you have a good chance of joining an organization but keep an open mind in case your top choice drops you.

Thanks for the info. I'm not the original poster, but I was wondering the same thing, because I want to go through rush, but don't want to do it if it is pointless and nobody is going to give me a chance. I will thing about it and keep an open mind. Seems like you are missing some really good members. A lot of junior transfers end up being fifth year seniors so you would have them for three years.

Not true about dphie… I'm in it and I had two juniors in my pledge class this year, both transfers. I have a good friend in zta who is also a junior transfer.

I really wanted to give a bid to a really interesting and gorgeous woman that was a junior last year. Our advisors put her on the drop list because of her age. She went to another sorority that isn't as competitive as mine and is very happy. The majority of us wanted her in the house. The couple of bean counters knocked her out. Wish it were different. You will probably get a sorority, but do keep an open mind.

Come out to recruitment and see how you mesh with the girls!
There is a local chapter APhiZ that I know for a fact takes juniors, and I have a few friends in it who are super awesome, laid-back girls who are fun to hang out, party with, and are just an all-around great time.
Don't just skip out on recruitment because you're worried some sororities will drop you for being too old. Hey! You never know. :)

In California Nationals take Juniors all the time. Loads of my friends joined later in college. I'm not sure why here at NYU there the Nationals will let cool girls go based on their age.
