RUSH/PLEDGE Question

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University
1

<p>I just got accepted as a sophomore spring transfer to Cornell...Would being a sophomore new to Cornell hurt my chances in getting a bid?? Also how time consuming is the pledge process, would it affect my adjusting to Cornell's courseload/workload?? Lastly how much would dues and pledge fees be?...i remember reading a post a while back discussing some frats with really high dues...</p>

<p>Is it uncommon for sophomores to rush?? After seeing how my friends at other schools have grown from their experiences in their greek systems I feel as if it would be beneficial to rush/pledge to get a more well rounded college experience. (i go to a LAC now...no greek system).</p>

<p>yeah i definitely plan on rushing...it is just a question of if i can get a bid at a house i like..and if the fees/dues aren't too restricting AND if i can handle pledging+the workload.</p>

<p>what houses are known to be "hard" on their pledges?</p>

<p>The dues and fees aren't too bad, but pleding can be very rough (or a breeze) depending on the house. You can PM me if you want specifics on certain houses, it's not right to discuss rumors and stereotypes openly.</p>
