Attention Sophomores: You Should Still Rush!

Freshman year is over, summer break is over, and you're back on campus. Let's be honest, you're feeling way more confident than you did this time last year. You have some idea of how things work around campus; you know where to eat, where not to eat, where your classes are (kind of) and you have made some great friends (thank god). Sophomore year is looking up, but you're still questioning one thing. Should I rush? But more importantly, you're asking yourself, should I rush as a sophomore? And the answer is YES.

Although you may feel old standing next to all the cute freshmen who haven't gained those 15 pounds yet, it is so worth it. I rushed as a sophomore, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I made. Maybe you weren't sure if joining a sorority was for you last year or you wanted to get adjusted to college life before making a big time commitment like Greek Life. Even if you still aren't sure about a sorority or aren't fully adjusted to living on your own, you should still go through the rush process as a sophomore, and this is why.

1. Your campus gets even smaller.

Not literally obviously, but if you think you met a lot of people last year — just wait. Greek life automatically gives you a hundred-plus girls to study, eat, and hang out with on campus. Besides becoming sisters with a ton of women who have the same interests and values as you do, you meet so many other students in other sororities and fraternities just by joining Greek Life.

2. More opportunities.

Need I say more?

3. Help your community

An amazing opportunity to expand beyond your university.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
