Hey there Gators!
I just wanted to wish you all luck during Rush next week. If you have any questions about UF rush specifically, post here and I'll be happy to answer them.
I went through rush as a freshman (way back in the day Fall 1996), dropped out right before Prefs, joined my sorority later that year through COB, participated in rush with my house for the next 3 years, was on my house's Executive Council, helped plan major parts of our Rush activities, and was also very involved with the Panhellenic Council.
...So basically if you have any questions, I have a decent shot at answering them! Also, if you hear any of the crazy rumors that always go around during rush, feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to tell you whether they're accurate or not.
I'm sure you all will do fine. All the UF Rushees I've seen posting here seem to exhibit the wonderful enthusiasm that we love to see in rushees. And the extra information you have from this site will be helpful too - I wish I'd had a resource like this when I went through! Would have made everything less nerve-wracking.
Anyway, best of luck to you all again and GO GATORS!

P.S. I'm still in Gainesville at the law school, so I've still got relatively current information.
P.P.S. Apologies for not using the PC terms "Recruitment" and "Potential New Member" - the old words "Rush" and "Rushee" are shorter and I'm too old school to retrain myself at this point. No disrespect meant.
