transfer rushing

Why is it harder? What do they look for in transfers?

So should I not even rush?

Of course you should! Nothing ventured nothing gained!

Don't give up something you want just because it might be hard or your choices might be limited! If you don't really care about being in a sorority, then don't go through all this effort. But if this is something you really want, then go for it. Hit the ground running. Finish up anything you need to finish up and get all your recs in. It will be a lot more challenging for you since you are a transfer, but it isn't impossible. It happens! Don't worry about this too much because then you'll be even more nervous during rush. Be confident and outgoing. If a house likes you they aren't going to cut you just because you're a transfer. If they're kind of on the fence about you, they'll probably cut you. But don't drop out if you really want this. Just go into it with a really open mind. You will most likely get dropped by a lot of houses right off the bat. You won't have as many options as some of the freshmen. Just be happy with what you get and make the most out of it! Also, Alpha Phi will be a great option for transfers, if that's something that's for you. It's not for everyone, and it's a lot of effort, but it could be a great experience. Consider all your options and keep a really open mind! These people aren't trying to scare you, they're just warning you. It's a challenge, but you can do it.

I am a strong believer that anything can happen. There is no formula really to to get a bid. You have a shot at any house you connect with during rush week. Don't be afraid to put yourself out there. It will be harder, but you won't be alone, and certainly has been done before. Everyone is feeling what you are feeling. Just put your best foot forward and get those recs in if you haven't. Best of luck to you!

I don't know you personally, so I don't know if it's actually a good option for you or not. But new colonies need transfer students so the whole sorority isn't full of freshmen. It may not be for you, but if things don't end up working the way you hope they will during formal recruitment, I think you should really consider it. I really hope that formal recruitment does work out the way you're hoping. I bet you have put a lot into it and that it is something that you want very badly. But being a transfer student makes this a lot harder. They are a great sorority with lots of strong chapters and they are getting a little stronger in the south. They will be bad here for a while, but you could be a part of that and help grow the chapter to be a great one, if it's for you. You can google them and get more information. But it doesn't really matter if you are familiar with them or not, you would learn about them if you joined their sorority. I wasn't saying that that's your only option, because it isn't. I was just saying that you need to keep your options open. Every PNM, even a freshmen with a 4.0 who was homecoming queen, needs to keep their options open. Your recruitment could go very well, and I hope it does. Just don't look forward to a flawless recruitment because you might be disappointed. It sucks, but it's the truth!

did you pledge ADpi? If not ,which one house?

If you aren't comfortable saying, then I understand :)
