I am a longtime lurker here. My daughter is a freshman at UCF currently undergoing recruitment. She went in with an open mind and knew nothing about the ten sororities at UCF. The second/third round (they combined them due to tropical storm Fay cancelling two rush days) she was invited to and attended 4 parties (out of a possible 7). She liked all of them but loved her top two. Yesterday, for Prefs, she was asked to attend two parties. These were her third and four choices (based on the vibes she got the day before) but she was happy to attend and had a wonderful time. Last night she called me gushing with enthusiasm for one of the chapters. She completely "connected" with the girl that she hung out with. So much so that she is wishing that she would be her Big sister. She was not enthused about the second party/chapter at all and told me that if she didn't get the BID to the first chapter, she will NOT be in a sorority. I got goosebumps listening to her gush about sorority A, and now I will be anxious all day for her. Today at 11:45AM she has to report for BID day. My fingers are crossed. I hope that it is meant to be!

BTW, her older sister is a Sigma Kappa at another school but there is no SK chapter at UCF.

Thank you for posting about UCF recruitment - the boards have been very quiet about all the Florida recruitments. Do you know how many girls went through recruitment at UCF? Any word what quota is? (should have been decided based on Preference). I hope your daughter gets her first choice!

ajmom3 08-24-2008 09:16 AM

About a thousand girls started recruitment at UCF but many have dropped out at this point (I am sure the lousy weather didn't help things). I wish that I knew what quota is but I don't. Thanks for the good wishes. I will post later today with my daughter's result. My daughter's summer session roommates BOTH dropped out after prefs last nite (they weren't happy with their choices). One of her current roommates (a sophomore) also dropped out last nite for the same reason.
My elder daughter is soooo happy to be on the other side of recruitment but she did say that is was also stressful and time consuming on her end.

I'm so curious to hear how everything went with UCF recruitment. It's changed so much since I was a student there. Best of luck to all the PNMs and make sure to update us!

Just got a phone call! Daughter got a bid to sorority A...

She is now a happy....









A E PHI!!!!!!

BellaBerlee 08-24-2008 01:59 PM

Aww Congrats to you, your daughter, and AEPhi!!

I've been awaiting all day to hear from active sisters about quota and such (which they're not responding - should figure Bid Day activities are going on).

A E Phi is such a wonderful chapter! Their philanthropy is one of the top events on Greek Row!

Benzgirl 08-24-2008 02:05 PM

So happy to ear of your daughter, AJMOM. It will be a wonderful few years for her
