I just wanted to chime in and thank everyone for all this advice. I'm rushing as a sophomore at UF in a few weeks...and as the days get closer, I get more nervous. One part of me is really excited, but the other part of me is wondering if my expectations are too high.
I didn't rush my first semester at UF because I didn't really know what it was about. With so many things involved with the first year in college, I didn't want to bombard myself. I live in a dorm right next to sorority row, so all throughout rush week I would see the girls walking around in their groups...or I'd run into them in the elevator all dressed up! After meeting a few sorority girls, and hearing about sorority life firsthand (and not the MTV kind either!)...I'm getting curious!
With most of my friends, it's usually "ugh...sorority girls"
....so it's been interesting watching their reactions this summer as I tell them that I'm rushing!
I'm excited that this year, recruitment is the entire week
before classes begin. That way I can go through the week with only one thing on my mind! Who knows....maybe in the end, I won't like greek life....but I just want to be able to make that decision for myself!
Now....I keep reading that rush at SEC schools is tough....
Any more "UF specific" advice??
Thanks!
