  2. I’m interested in rushing a sorority.Could someone describe the rush process? Is there anyway to rush in the fall if you have enough AP credits?</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I’m not an expert, but I believeyou have a good chance of getting a scholarship. I know nothing about the Greek system. Good luck.</p>

<p>I believe you can rush if you have enough AP credits. However most people rush in the spring rather than the fall. If you wait until spring then you can visit all the houses and meet sisters from every sorority. There are just a few that will be open to rush in the fall. Very early in the fall you can go to “Meet the Greeks” events and get a feel for the girls from different sororities.</p>

<p>Okay! Thank you! I would rather rush in the spring and have the opportunity to meet the sisters from each sorority.</p>
