fall 2020 frat rush as a senior

by: bear

Hi all, my friend's a regular junior here (non-transfer) looking for advice on if it's feasible to rush and pledge a frat next semester (Fall 2020) as a senior. He's mainly interested in the top frats (Zete, SAE, Fiji, DKE, KA), but he's wondering if it makes sense and would still get enough out of it. He's seen and heard of many exchange students doing this, but he wants to know if it's possible to get a bid and go through with it. He regrets not doing greek life earlier and has his fair share of reasons, but thinks the time is right next semester and wants advice. He's totally fine being in a pledge class of mostly freshmen and he's more worried about integrating in the house and getting to know the other seniors during pledging and after crossing. Any thoughts would be appreciated so I could let him know. Thanks!

I know being in a top house seems like the best place, but tell your friend to rush a lot of houses and just choose the one where he feels the most comfortable. Wherever he vibes the most he will get a bid, regardless of age.

Thanks for the reassurance. Rushing a lot of houses is obviously difficult to manage time wise, how many do you think is best?

Tbh i doubt any of those frats would bid a senior. Just go where u vibe and dont be dead set on just those cause ur setting urself up for failure.

Do you have an idea of which frats would be more likely and open to bidding a senior? He just wants to focus on a few since he can’t feasibly rush more than 3-5 right? He prefers at least upper middle houses since he doesn’t think he’ll get much out of it otherwise.

Pretty unlikely an UM house would bid a senior either but it depends on the house. Phi psi and pike I doubt, maybe sig chi. Definitely try and rush a wider selection
