UF Rush

[kdonline]

I was a KD @ UF back in the 80's. Rush is probably just as competitive now as it was then, maybe more.

It IS a good idea to try to get a rec before Rush begins, but just remember:
1) getting a rec does NOT guarantee you a place in a sorority.
2) if the chapter really wants you, they will get a rec on you.

As others have posted, check your local circles for sorority alumnae. I see that you're located in Gainesville - try contacting the Alumnae Panhellenic association there. Figure out if any of your high school teachers are alumnae (I was a high school teacher for 8 years & was always contacted by former students for recs).

But your best bet is emphasizing what is in YOUR CONTROL - what you write on your Rush Application, and what you discuss with the sisters who rush you. State on your app that you have at least 2 full years at UF. Mention this to who rushes you, but dont bang it in. Let them know where your talents are, and what you have been involved in previously too -- community service, extra-curricular, etc.


Good luck!
