ahhh XOAlum....you beat me to it! :D

Do you think the fact that I am a sophomore will hurt my chances of getting a bid or does that not matter too much?

Also, last year I got a book in the mail that explained what was going on each day and the times and what to wear... Do you know if they will send those again.. I couldn't find any info besides the application on the website.

I know that this thread has been up until this point entirely about sororities at UCF. I just wanted to share my experience of rushing later than typically normal, i.e. freshman year. I was worried about it also in the beginning. I went out to rush not knowing what to expect. None of my friends were Greek but I thought I would try it out. I had a good time going to the houses, true I had more freedom in where I went than you do. Some people and houses were put off by my age but some were happy to have a mature person who could contribute to the house. By that Saturday I had numerous bids and decided to go where I felt the most comfortable. If people seem put off you need to show them what you can contribute to their house. In the end everyone can find someplace where they are happy. I know now I wouldn’t be the same without my brothers. I know this isn't all applicable to your situation. I hope I haven’t intruded.

That’s my 2 cents.

Re: UCFPhiDelt
 

What year were you when you rushed?

You can either call or visit the greek affairs office and see if they can give you the booklet. I'm not sure if they will send it to you. But, the outfits will most likely be the same as last year.
Day 1- Greek Forum- Wear whatever you are comfortable in. You'll just be meeting your PX and the rest of the girls in your group.
Day 2- UCF Day- Again, wear something comfortable. Khakis, denim shorts, tank top.
Day 3- Philanthropies- Once again, casual.
Day 4- Video Day- You might want to get a little bit more dressed up. A denim skirt or a sundress.
Day 5- Prefs- Wear a nice dress.
Day 6- Bid Day- Dress casually.

About the "non-Greek friends and boyfriend" bit...

Don't let that stop you. Of my best friends, none of them are in the Greek system, and for that matter, neither is my boyfriend. It doesn't take over my life. Maybe that has to do with the fact that I will only be living in the house this year for the first time. If you don't let it, it won't take over your life.

Re: RosmaPomia
 

I was a junior when i rushed.

I already asked about this in general on the board, but I noticed this post and thought I'd bring it up here, in case any UCF Greeks hadn't seen it.

I'm going to be an incoming freshman at UCF this fall and am really interested in at the very least checking out the sororities on campus and seeing if I belong in any of the houses.

What I want to know is: How important are recs and/or a legacy with the sororities here at UCF, because I don't have a legacy or know any Alumnae from any organization.

I'm signed up for Rush, and I'm really looking forward to meeting all 9 chapters, but am I probably going to get cut after the first day or two just because of this factor, or is it not that big a deal at UCF? I just want to go in with my eyes open, you know.

Anyway, thanks for any information you can give me.

P.S.
Here's the other post I referred to in case you wondered: http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showth...threadid=21243

Hey there!!
Rush at UCF is pretty competitive. Large numbers of girls come out each year and recs DO help set you apart, which is really important, when you consider the amount of girls rushing.
Good luck!!

bump?!
 

Okay, UCF recruitment is almost over...bid day is this Sunday.

Seems that earlier on this thread, there were several girls planning on going through.

So, what happened??

I wanted to bump this one up as well. Did anyone rush UCF?? How did it go???

Well, today was prefs and I got to help out my girls a lil bit. They were doing wonderful and I was really impressed at the parties. It was nice to be back. I am going to attend bid day- I am really excited to see the upcoming PC.

Hey ZTAngel or XOAlumXO - has the Kappa colonization occured yet? If so how did they do, if not when is that going to happen? :)

Yeah! I can't find anything on the UCF or Kappa websites. Anybody there who can fill us in?

Not completely sure- but am calling my lil tonight to get all the info for ya'll! I am kinda out of the loop since I graduated....I am sure ZTAngel could fill us all in, though! :D

ZTAngel- are you going to the game this Saturday! Go Knights!
