How competitive is rush at UVa? How necessary are recommendations?

Please PM me if you know anything about the houses as well.

If you got to UVA, you should get off this message board and go mingle.

I do not attend UVa. My friend's little sister will be going through recruitment in the spring.

Tell her to get grown and do her own research.

My understanding is that it is fairly competitive but not SEC competitive. She should definitely get some recs.

I didn't go through it but do know a little something about it. The competitiveness is relative, I guess. If you want to be in a sorority--and any sorority will do--then it isn't really a worry. If you must be in a certain sorority or one of a couple than it can be very, very competitive. Of course, it does depend on the sorority.

Hi, I go to UVA.

I hope your little sister loves it--I know I do! I'm only a first year but I'm already depressed that 1/8th of my college career at UVA is over.

From what I hear, rush is competitive in that it is very popular and many girls go through it, but I don't know anyone who is getting recs or sitting down with alumni. I don't have any connections--I'm not in-state, and my mom wasn't in a sorority--but I'm not worried. None of my friends do either. I mentioned it to my Rho Chi and she said to chill out, just be myself and the girls would love me.

I really shouldn't update you with the sorority's stereotypes...so I won't.
