<p>Hey! I'm interested in rushing at USC as a junior since I am transferring from a community college and would have loved to rush as a freshman. How difficult is it to receive a bid as a junior since most girls rushing are freshmen and sophomores?</p>
<p>You’ll definitely have a better chance as a junior transfer since it is your first year at the school and you really had no other opportunity to rush. It might be harder to get into the more “popular” houses, but I knew of several transfers in my friends’ sorority houses.</p>
<p>It is VERY, VERY uncommon, however, for a junior in their third year at USC to rush a sorority successfully; I think it’s looked upon as a, “Well, why didn’t you do this 2 years ago?” kind of thing.</p>
<p>loveusc- I’ve been told by friends of mine that it is generally preferred to have freshman/sophomore rushes/pledges because of the time they’ll have left on campus to represent and spend time with the sorority.</p>
<p>However, I was one of those people who joined a sorority as an upperclassman for the multicultural greek council and it was one of THE most rewarding experiences I had during my time at USC. I truly believe I made lasting, lifetime bonds with my sisters and learned a lot about myself as a person, friend and professional.</p>
<p>That being said, if you find it difficult to rush NPC, try looking into multicultural orgs if that appeals to you, or professional greek orgs. Both, I assure you, boast rich networking and social opportunities.</p>
