I don't want to have to wait until Fall when I could be a sister by that time! I have so much to offer, and so much that I WANT to offer. So many friendships to be made, bonds to be created. Fun, sisterly activities...I'M SO EXCITED!
Anyways, I think I'll only be going to Phi Mu's parties if I am invited (big sister also said they wouldn't have told me as much about the parties as they did unless they were going to invite me

I hope you don't think I'm a meany when I post this, but I'm trying to give you unbiased advice.
The quatrfoil? I
HIGHLY doubt they knew you were coming. It was probably just a coincidence. It's not like you have an uncommon name like Venus or something. If you want to take it as a "sign" fine, but I would recommend you do not take it as the chapter definitely wanting you and pandering to you.
I would also caution against going into a party and saying that house was the ONLY one you visited and that you feel it's "your time". That could really put the ladies off. If I was in that house I might take it as you thinking you are "owed" a spot because you are a leagcy. Also, I don't agree with your sister's assesment that they wouldn't tell you so much if they didn't want to invite you. When we did info sessions we always gave all sorts of party info to women. It's part of being a polite and gracious hostess. Just like we were always nice to the women at the parties - even if we had no intention of bidding them.
And finally, if people are advising you that you have a chance as a sophomore, I personally would wait and go through fall formal recruitment to see all the different houses. UF has a huge greek system and there are tons of women to meet. I think only going to one table and one house for COR is selling your experience short - but that's just my opinion.
Good luck!
