AS a UCSC alum and someone who now works it Greek Life let me give you the UCSC Greek Life run down
1. Greek Life at UCSC isn't that big, That being said its growing and those who are involved in it for the most part have a great experience.
2. Recruitment: There are a number of local sororities at UCSC that are not affiliated with a national organization they recruit primarily in the fall, you r first chance to check most of them out will be the OPERS fall festival which is right before classes start. currently there are only 2 NPC sororities (organisations that are local chapters of national organizations that belong to the National Panhellenic Conference) Kappa Kappa Gamma and Gamma Phi Beta, they will to be at OPERS Fest. These two organizations have and a very low key semi structured recruitment in the fall (meaning you don't need to rec's, if you have them good for you but don't stress yourself out getting them) There are also a number of culturally based sororities who will do recruitment thought out the year. Most advertising for recruitment events is done on the bulletin boards and bus stops around campus.
3. For more info on the 2 NPC organizations recruitment i would just google Kappa Kappa Gamma UCSC or Gamma Phi Beta UCSC and email the chapters directly to ask about fall recruitment. I think that will get you more information than SOAR.
