Question Is it too late to decide to rush at UK?

Hello, all! I want to start off by saying this is not a "chance me" kind of thread- just a request for honest opinions and personal experiences that might help me decide if rushing is a good idea at this point.

I have been struggling with the idea of whether or not to go through formal recruitment for a while. The reason for my uncertainty was that I am in a pretty difficult major and need a 3.3 to maintain scholarships. (I mention this only because I want to clarify that it was not an issue of desire.)

Finally, I decided that sorority life was for me and I would find a way to work with the time commitments. The trouble is that I did not realize how much preparation was required to have a successful rush! I thought it would be as simple as filling out the registration form and coming with the appropriate outfits. The pamphlet/website said recommendations were not required, and most of my family was either never involved with Greek life or went through recruitment in a much more casual setting.

Coming on here and doing more research, I feel swamped and under prepared. I don't have tea cards or recommendations, and I am not a legacy.

So I would just like some honest opinions on whether or not I should rush, or if my lack of recommendations would put me at a heavy disadvantage and make the experience a disheartening one. I want to start my year off positively. :/
