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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.
