how hard is it to rush as a junior transfer?

If you'll only be spending two years at Michigan, you will have a hard time during formal recruitment. However, a new sorority (AOPi) will be recruiting ~200 members after formal recruitment wraps up. When a new sorority comes to campus (colonizes), they recruit members of all class years - including juniors.

i know a junior transfer who got Zeta...but also keep in mind you may not have all credits transfer/may have extra requirements so most likely you will be here 3 years. and this particular transfer was from the area and probably knew a lot of people

Juniors do not count towards quota for sororities to encourage sororities to give juniors a chance, despite the fact that they will only be there for two years. This means that if a sorority is allowed to take 65 new members for example, they can take 65 new members, plus a junior. It will still be harder than rushing as a freshman, but I think it might actually be easier then rushing as a sophomore because of the quota rule (since a lot of sororities don't take sophomores for money reasons). It's also better to be a transfer because it's easier to say why you're rushing at an older age rather than if you had just chosen not to rush. I know that this year I rushed a few juniors and one of them was super awesome. We wanted her but she picked another house, so I would definitely be optimistic and give it a shot!

Very hard
