Don't know anyone
I'm going to be a freshman at UF this fall. I have a pretty good idea of the top 3 choices of fraternities that I want try and join. The problem is that the majority of the members come from the same couple of schools (private and the top public schools). My hs doesn't have a very good reputaion (on the poor side and a little violent, although my family is pretty well off and I wouldn't consider myself dangerous).
I don't personally know anyone in any of the fraternities (only 5 or 6 people from my hs get accepted to UF every year), but I do know who a couple people are through friends and co-workers, although they won't know me. One of the guys that I work with is the brother of the president of one of the fraternities that I am considering and I know a girl who knows a lot about the Greek system at UF and has helped me narrow down my choices. (she goes to one of the hs schools that a lot of people in the fraternities are from so she knows a lot of the members).
I was involved in a couple of sports in hs and an officer in several clubs, including class office. I also did a lot of volunteer work and was number 11 in my class. I would consider myself a social person who gets along with almost everyone.
Do I have a chance of getting in one of my top choices (they are also top tier)? Do they already know who they want to give bids to before rush starts? Should I wait until rush or contact them ahead of time?
