The above posters have made good points, however, girls at schools with competitive recruitments like Alabama are generally advised that their best shot at pledging is as a freshman. Something else for you to consider is that if you wait and rush as a sophomore, you will have one less year to bond with your pledge class.

If you do decide to defer going through recruitment until your sophomore year, you will have an opportunity to get to know sorority members in your first year classes and extracurricular activities. These actives can advocate for you during recruitment if they think you are a good candidate. As an out-of-state student, this may be particularly helpful for you, although most chapters at Alabama have roughly equal number of in and out-of-state students as the student body has become more geographically diverse.

No matter when you go through rush, it is crucial to get at least one rec (and preferably two) for each house. It is not too early to begin asking your teachers, friends’ mothers, parents’ coworkers, etc.
