It is just that if you listen to the kids, they make UF and FSU sound like the competitive rushes here in Florida with no other school coming in at even a close second.

The thing to remember is that just because a school is smaller than the state's flagship school(s) or has (gasp!) campus owned housing, does not mean that the value of a rec is decreased.
I went to a small private school in Texas. Everyone will tell you about UTexas rush and that it is competitive. Even on these boards that is the school that everyone will reference (and with good reason) with regards to obtaining recs.
However, piddly ol' TCU, with its 5000 undergrads when i was there, had a "Recs are Mandatory" mentality. I do not know of a single woman who received a bid to a chapter that she did not have a rec to.
I know nothing of the system at UCF, but just want to caution anyone who assumes that just because a campus isn't "The Big School" that things are more relaxed with regards to recs. Not necessarily so.
