Go ahead and talk to your co-worker and ask him for advice about going Greek at UF. If you start it off that way, then that leaves him room to offer to pass your name along if he wants to.
The lady who is helping you out has already helped you it appears, so you can be more direct in asking if she could pass your name along and get it to rush chairs.
With 1, maybe 2, people to help get your name passed along- that is all you need to get a good start. I have little familiarity with UF, but as a competitive Greek system there will most certainly be a lot of rush going on now and over the summer. Now is the time to get your name out there.
Also, go to the school website and see if you need to register to rush in the fall. If you do, go ahead and register now in case rush chairs are consulting that list for prospects (some chapters do, some don't- so can't hurt to have your name out there.)
Finally, since you do not know anyone in these chapters yet- while it is okay to do some research and pick out chapters you might like, be careful about getting too set in your mind where you want to end up. You will be surprised at how different they can be when you get there- both from each other and from your original impression from afar, and often it will just be a handful of guys you get along with that will make all the difference.
It is my experience guys are rarely "sold" on a chapter based on everyone there. It usually comes down to a couple of guys you really get along with who also like you and will actively push the chapter to give you a bid.
