I would find out if you can attend a different orientation session. The only alternative is attending half parties during icewaters, which might be arranged, but you need to start working on it now via the Greek Life office.

I know that you were told 'not to worry', but I would call back and specifically ask how this will be handled. Press for details.

As a transfer student (and non-freshman?), missing the first 2 days of Recruitment @ FSU would be a mistake. Unless you are an outstanding scholar with high activities AND have letters of introduction by noteable alumnae to each and every house, the chances that you would be invited back sight unseen is slim, especially for the larger chapters on campus. As FSUZeta stated, the return rate figures would impact you negatively in this instance. If a chapter has to cut a high percentage of PNMs based on return rates, they are going to cut an upperclassman that they've never met long before they cut a freshman that they have met.
