SO EXCITED!!

UFgirl · #1 07-12-2001, 09:25 PM

I can not tell you how incredibly excited I am about rushing this fall. UF rush starts on Aug.18 with a meeting. Then round one, two, and three take place during the week. Preferentials is on Saturday the 25th, and Bid Day is on the 26th. I can't believe how truly excited I am. I have total butterflys in my stomach. Does anyone here know anything about UF rush? Do alot of the girls get bids? I'm going into this whole thing with a completely open mind, which from what I read is a good thing! I am truly willing to accept a bid from whichever place feels I fit the best in. I just want a chance to have a small part in this amazing organization which I am so passionate about. So, I would really like to know of any other UF women out there, and also from any rushees. Are you guys as excited/nervous/thrilled as I am? I would really like to know!

Peace
Love
Happiness

I'm going through rush too. I'm so excited! Ours starts August 17. That's check-in and orientation. Next day is open house where I will get to meet women from all the chapters. There's gonna be 8 thirty minute events. On the third day I will visit UP TO five chapters that I liked the best (i hope I get invited back to at least 4!). The next day is appetizer day, and I'll get to see up to three chapters that I liked. The next day is preference day, and I'll get to visit 2. And Bid Daay is the sixth day of the whole ordeal. I HOPE I GET A BID!!

I go to school at UCF and a bunch of my friends went through at UF. There are so many sororities at UF that I'm pretty sure basically everyone gets a bid. It's a loooong rush though bc of all the houses you need to attend. I have friends there who are in DPhiE, KD, Zeta, AEPhi, and Theta who all had a great time going through recruitment there!

UFgirl · #11 07-14-2001, 08:36 PM

I would like to thank everyone for all of their support to us rushees. We really appreciate it! Thanks for the info ZTAngel, it's helped calm my nerves a bit. Of course, I'm still totally excited!! I will definetley post all the updates when rush comes around on Aug.18. I just wish it would start tomorrow! I can't wait to be greek officially, because I feel I've always been a greek at heart!! Again, thanks for all of your kind, reassuring posts, and keep the great advice coming!!

Peace
Love

UFGirl and idahovandal, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck!!!!!!!!! You guys sound awesome and I'm sure you'll get the house that you want!!!!

Have fun ok?!

I'm really surprised to hear that UF does recruitment that way. I thought it was like UCF. We base our numbers on the amount of girls that go through. We had over a thousand on the first day and we were all nervous because that would mean we would have a pledge class of over 100 girls!!! (we only have 9 sororities and one more this fall) But, as the week goes on, girls drop out of rush for different reasons. We then base our quota on how many girls attend preferentials. UCF ends up with a very high quota (71 was the quota last year!) but it's good because everyone will get a bid somewhere.

UFgirl · #14 07-15-2001, 03:10 PM

So why does UF do their recruitment that way? I was just wondering because from the info I've gathered it seems as though quotas are set based on how many people rush. Can anyone please answer my question? Oh, and I just got my rec for Kappa Kappa Gamma, and am sooooo excited. Any KKG's out there? What's KKG life like for you?
