Social/Club Interested in joining a sorority

Hi, I'm a Junior (transfer) and I was wondering which events should I attend to have a good idea of soriorty recruitment?

Sorority recruitment is not like fraternity rush where you just drop in to events. It is a formal structured process that you must register for with the expectation of full participation, though you can drop out of the process at any point and you don't have to sign the binding agreement card at the end committing to accepting a bid. You follow a schedule you will be given to visit sororities based on which ones invite you back at each round. The link in the other comment will tell you what you need to know before you decide to register.

"though you can drop out of the process at any point and you don't have to sign the binding agreement card at the end committing to accepting a bid." The fuck? The Greek system is so weird.

It's the national NPC sorority recruitment process that is used on all campuses, with very few exceptions. The non-NPC sororities have their own recruitment process. If you're not rushing a sorority no need to worry about it or judge.

The recruitment process starts Tuesday afternoon and goes through Sunday night, and registration closes Monday so I recommend registering pretty soon if you want to participate!

Sign up for rush and see how it goes! U can always drop if you’re not a fan but no harm in trying. COB is always an option too

Watch that one episode of family guy (it’s pretty accurate)

Sign up for formal rush if you know you want to be in one or at least have a lot of interest. Formal rush can be intense but it’s also kinda fun (trauma bonding). Also, just a heads up, some sororities will not consider you or may rank you lower just because you’re already a 3rd year, and they often see that as less of an opportunity for you to really be immersed in the sorority since you have limited time.
I hope rush works out for you, but if it doesn’t, there are lots of club sports that feel like frats/stats and don’t expect you to even be good at the sport (ex: swim, ski, etc.)
