*Paging FSUZeta*
Not overly familiar with the campus, but from what I gather:
I realize there are only like 6 weeks left in the semester, but you could still try and get involved on campus! Also adding things over the summer like volunteer work is always good. I'd highly suggest this even if you weren't going through recruitment. I strongly believe people should be involved on campus, social or otherwise.
Rushing as a sophomore will be a disadvantage. I believe we have another PNM who will be a sophomore going through. Instead of focusing on what you can't change (ie not being involved) focus on the positives and make connections. You may end up disappointed, but wouldn't it be a bigger disappointment if you never tried? In addition to getting involved (even just a little bit!), get recommendation letters. Info on these are found in the stickied threads in Sorority recruitment forum.
Also here is a story from a sophomore PNM at FSU:
http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...d.php?t=115417 You can see, she had a rough recruitment, but it did work out in the end. Notice what she did and how she made a difference in her different aspects. She changed things in just two months. Give everyone a chance, even if they aren't the most glamourous in recruitment.
ETA: I also believe AOPi is colonizing this Fall. Another opportunity if things don't work out with formal.
