If you're transferring to UCLA now (that is, before next fall's formal recruitment!), go to the Office of Greek Life and register your interest for COR/COB (aka Informal Recruitment) so you can possibly attend some events this spring. As I said, the majority of the chapters do hold informal recruitment events because of some variance between the number of women who come through formal recruitment and the chapters' "Total" cap on membership. Some of my favorite chapter officers cames into the UCLA chapter I formerly advised this way-- especially one fantastic scholarship chair who bidded as a junior.

(This is based on advising there about 3 years back-- at that time only 2 of 11 chapters were at total -- the rest were holding recruitment events each quarter--- optimum time to see the sorority women in a more relaxed setting and a great opportunity for upperclassmen who might get slighted in formal recruitment.)

I'm not saying you shouldn't consider formal recrutiment as an option, nor am I saying informal recruitment guarantees you a bid, but you should definitely check it out.

ETA: I just realized that UCLA most likely has yet to hold recruitment-- I keep forgetting they start later!
