<p>Hey y'all, I'm transferring into CAS, and I was wondering about UPenn's frat life (I tried the search function, but there was nothing addressing my specific question).</p>
<p>Can you join up as a transfer, or is it a freshman thing? Also, not to turn this into a ****ing match, but which frats tend to be well-respected?</p>
<p>Transfers are allowed to pledge either fall semester or spring semester. Some frats may have fall rush, or you may have to wait until spring when freshmen will be pledging. I would definitely recommend going to a bunch of different houses during NSO and meeting brothers. That way you can find out when they will be rushing kids and whether or not you want to join that specific frat. A handful of sophomores (transfers or not) do pledge in the spring each year, so you would be in no way alone. Good luck and welcome to Penn!</p>
