Because nothing removes a stigma like a message that says: "Spring rush is so shameful that we won't even tell you who's participating."

Nothing except "we have to use the good chapters to pull a bait-and-switch on the PNM's".

Because I know that there are PNM's reading this thread, please remember that UF has a fabulous Greek system, and you can have a great experience in any chapter. Taking a spring class means nothing, except that they have fewer women than the other chapters at this exact point in time.

hey! So i just finished the spring recruitment, and it was a really good experience, but I decided that even though i would love to join any of the sororities that were giving bids for spring, I want to wait until fall and have a chance to really decide what is right for me and not jump into it just for the idea of being in a sorority.

I'm definitely going to wait and see if a sorority contacts me in the next couple of days, so that should be exciting.

Really happy how things went today.



~Does anyone know what the chances are for sophomores to get a bid in fall?

I'm confused. You have decided not to join, but you are waiting to see who contacts you?

Honestly, the chapters that are bidding now will be the same ones that are likely to bid a sophomore next fall. Don't pledge a chapter if you aren't sure, but if someone contacts you and invites you to dinner or something, you should consider going.

this. of course, it is your choice, but you could be enjoying a spring semester full of fun and sisterhood, if you are offered a bid.
