I never realized that my school was actually cutthroat until I read aephi alum's post. Florida, althought it is the south, isn't considered a "dixie" state so I never compared it to schools such as LSU, Ole Miss, or Auburn. But, I never knew that at Northern schools, it could possibly be rare to see a leg come through and that recs are not used. I have many friends at schools such as UF, UCF, and other sororities at UCF. We have about 20+ legacies come through each recruitment and every girl must have a rec! I don't think the fraternities are big on recs but I know that there are tons of legacies that come through.
So, I called a friend of mine who goes to school at the University of Pennsylvania and asked him about legacies. He's an SAE there and you'd think that since SAE is one of the biggest organizations you'd have many legacies. Nope. He told me that he's only seen a couple since he pledged there two years ago.
So, to any of the girls (or guys) who will be rushing in the Northeast, don't worry! It is not nearly as competitive as it is in the South.
