My Rush

gatorgirlie87 · #1 07-05-2006, 04:51 PM

Ok i feel that this is kinda random and its a little early to be worried but im still nervous. Im going into my second year at uf in the fall and im seriously thinking about rushing. There are 16 sororities at UF and from what Ive heard it can be really competitive so if anyone has any advice i would seriously apperate it. Ive got about a month and week or so before rush starts but im busy with summer stuff and kinda nervous so im trying to start early so im prepared.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

There are many, many threads regarding recruitment at UF, including several about upperclassmen participation. The search feature is your friend.

Thanks, Ive seen a lot of the UF threads on here and theyve been a big help but im still super nervous. Like I dont have a legacy at any of the UF sororities or anything like that and i dont know i guess i just have a lot of nervous energy and stuff and im just trying to get it out of my system before rush starts. However, i did get a couple dresses today for the parties and that made me really excited about rushing. Ive also been talking to some people looking for recs but so far im not doing so hot on that aspect so thats kinda a downer but it will all come together!

This is completely not related, but -- out of curiosity, is the "87" in your screenname b/c you were born in 1987?

Dear Lord I feel old.

Considering that you are going to a very competitive Greek scool, I wouldn't say that starting now is starting early. You are going to need to get on your horse in order to get recs lined up before recruitment starts.

Good luck!

Good Luck with recruitment!!!

I would definately take irishpipes advice and get those letters of rec's lined up.

You do realize that this year's incoming freshmen were born in 1988, don't you?

That even makes me feel old.

Well, I realize it because I've got an incoming freshman, and he was born in 1988. What made me feel old was the 1st time I realized I had been a Kappa longer than the chapter members had been alive!

yeah the 87 in my screen name is because i was born in 87, very early 87 but still 87

ok, ive gotten a little sidetracked with one of my summer classes but theres not much to say with my rush prep, im kinda at a standstill, im having a really hard time finding recs and thats what it seems like im focusing all my rush energy at right now. i guess the worst case sernerio would be i dont find any, which isnt good i know, but can someone tell me if this would completly kill me? i mean im not going to stop trying but will i not stand a chance without them? im so worried!
