Hey! I am a rising Junior in the College who transferred to Penn from Colgate last Fall (07). I didn’t plan on rushing because formal recruitment seemed so fake/time consuming, but when I realized that some of the sororities did informal recruitment in the fall, I decided to give it a shot. While Jelly88’s post does somewhat accurately represent the “stereotypes” associated with each sorority, I suggest you check them all out before ruling any out. I ended up joining Phi Sigma Sigma because the sisters there far and away were some of the most welcoming, genuine, laid back and friendly women I’d ever met. The concentration of “cool/smart people Amber likes” was so high that in the ~3 weeks I was “rushing” (ie. going out to dinner w/sisters, watching Grey’s at the house etc.), I’d made a couple of good friends. I don’t know where you’re transferring from, or what Greek life is like there, but I urge you to sample it at Penn. It really helped me get connected on campus & expand my social circle beyond transfer kids.
