Smile Rushing as a Junior at UCF

Hi everyone! I'm very new to these forums, but I have so many questions, that it seemed like a great way to talk to people who really know their stuff!

Well, to preface this as to why I'm going into this so late into my college career, it's been a confusing subject for me. I am hispanic, but was raised by European parents, so I always wanted to be a part of a sorority, or at least try to find my place, but was led to believe that because I was not 5'10 with blonde hair and lots of money, that I wouldn't make any cuts. I'm so sorry for my ignorance if that offended anyone, but I come from a family where nobody really cared for greek life, or were even supportive of it. The only information I got really was from what I saw, and what people would tell me. And I just didn't feel like I was "white" enough, to be completely honest with you. I looked into the DGC sororities, and many of those girls are wonderful, but it just didn't feel right for me.

Now I look back I realize that this is completely false, and that i should have gone for it and rushed if I wanted to, but I didn't know anybody else who wanted to or was interested, and to just go and do it by myself was terrifying! I got a new roommate this year, and she is AMAZING. Her boyfriend is in a fraternity, so she is very familiar with Rush, Bidding, COB, spring recruitment, etc. She and I have had a lot of long talks about it, and she's actually the one who made me realize that I was completely wrong before with the information I had. Since meeting her, I've met a lot of girls in various sororities, and they've been wonderful. Kind, smart, supportive, and just overall wonderful people. I'm very excited to even have this desire and knowledge to go forward, but now my concern is simply that I'm just too old.

This year, this spring to be exact is actually my fourth year, but I'm considered a "junior" student I believe? I graduate in Spring 2010, so I still have a "senior year" left, but I believe after last fall, I might have enough credits to drop me technically into the "senior" status. I don't know. One girl I talked to from Sorority A said that they don't take Seniors, and only take one or two juniors. My other friend from sorority B said that they take "awesome girls regardless of year" but I'm not going to be naive and pretend as though it doesn't matter at all.

Can somebody please give me any information or insight into this? Does anybody know which sororities are doing Spring Recruitment 09? I think I'd really like to check things out then, and see how it goes. Can any UCF ladies inform me about the whole age or class status thing? Thank you so much!
