FLORIDA!

I don't feel like UCF is as competitive as UF or FSU, but of course I can only speak for certain on FSU. I have a few friends in different sororities at UCF (Zeta and Pi Phi off the top of my head) and they didn't seem to think recruitment was terribly competitive. What do you mean by "being stereotypical when it comes to being out of state"?

I read that statement as "do out of state girls even stand a chance of getting a bid?".

im not really sure what i meant, i just know that since florida schools are so competitive, it makes me kinda nervous about being from pa

I think recs would be very helpful at both of those schools.

Here are some threads that might be helpful to you:

Get recs. Competitive or not, you can't go wrong with recs to the sororities on this campus.

Congrats on being admitted to UCF! Go Knights!

UCF recruitment is moderately competitive. You will not be prejudiced for being an out-of-state resident. If anything, it helps make you more memorable because most UCF students are from Florida.

I had sisters and Greek friends at UCF who weren't Floridians who had great recruitments. In addition, the sorority was truly a home away from home for these members because they weren't able to travel home to their families as frequently as the in-staters.

I'm sending you a PM regarding your question about recs.

-Are there specific orientations that I would have to attend if i was rushing?
Yes. There is a kickoff event the day before recruitment. You will be informed about this when you register for recruitment with UCF Panhellenic.

-Overall, are UCF, UF & FSU steryotypical when it comes to being from out of state and stuff?
UCF is not.

-Do you suggest getting recs to every house? If this is not possible, will i be at a big dissadvantage or do most girls not have them?
More and more girls have them.

-Is rush really as intense as they say it is?
It's very hectic and can be emotional. You're caught up in the moment, and it's sometimes challenging to put in perspective that you've had maybe 20 minutes worth of conversations with a sorority, yet you're feeling crushed if they cut you.

Good luck! It's a fun, albeit a bit stressful, but well worth it! I highly recommend exploring Greek Life if you're attending UCF!

Go Knights!!!
