I'm new to GC but I've spent the past two weeks reading the rush threads as I get more anxious to be on the other side of rush for the very first time. I decided to join today, because I'm so impressed by the unity and camaraderie of Greek women from all chapters, all across the country. I only wish I had found this site last year when I was a nervous PNM!
I also wanted to be able to comment on this thread. I rushed at UF as as sophomore, and my head was filled with all sorts of negative comments about my age and class status going into rush. I was cut heavily by houses that are adament about only taking freshman [there are several] but in the end, it worked out well and I'm in a house I know I belong in.
A very good friend of mine, who last year was a huge supporter of my decision to rush, was a junior when she joined her house. She had the same concerns and fears as you and I but she reassured me that the truth is that if a house has enough interest in you and wants you to be their sister, they will overlook something as petty as class status.
Being a junior and receiving a bid at UF is not unheard of and I encourage you to rush if you whole heartedly feel you want to be a part of a GLO. The Greek community at UF is very strong and a system to be a part of. In the past year alone, so many doors have been opened for me as the result of being Greek.
I hope that you'll follow your heart and give it all a try, I'm certain you are going to receive a lot of positive advice and support from the members of this community.
Best wishes
