Recruitment at UM is not overly competitive. Sure the groups may prefer freshman, but trust me it's not going to be a huge detriment, if a detriment at all. It's deferred so fall semester can really help or hurt you. This is Miami, and it's VERY EASY to get a reputation that you don't want and this will hurt you in recruitment for sure. On the flip side, getting to know sorority members through classes can help you immensely during rush. Let the friendships form naturally, of course. Spring recruitment is formal (not COB) so there are structured parties each night leading up to pref then bid day. I would obtain recs. It can't hurt and can only help you. Recruitment has been becoming increasingly popular at UM, so why not help yourself stand out a little? Many of the girls will be from Florida so they're used to the idea of recs (FSU/UF).
In terms of what to wear, people tend to dress pretty chic for recruitment.
