I don't believe we have any Gamma Phi's on here from UCSC who can answer about how recruitment is at that school specifically, but we do have some in other CA schools and I'll let them answer if possible.

Having rushed before won't hurt your chances of rushing again. There are quite a few people who drop out the first time and then rush again at a later date. At many schools, being a sophomore doesn't hurt much either but again, I do not know if recruitment is competitive or not at UCSC.

The best person to answer these questions would be the Greek Advisor at UCSC since he/she will know the atmosphere on your campus.

Good Luck!
