When I started at UCF, I got the recruitment information booklet that they send out to all freshmen women. No one in my family was Greek, and my mom and I basically had no idea what Greek life was all about other than the stereotypes. My mom wasn't enthusiastic about the whole recruitment before school starts thing, and neither of us were very enthusiastic about the dues issue. (Really, they should put an explanation of what dues are used for rather than just very scary numbers alone! Maybe come up with some figures for each individual group.) So, I didn't go through recruitment my freshman year.
Several of the girls in my area of the dorms my freshman year did, though. They were the nicest bunch of girls, really breaking down a lot of bad stereotypes I had.
So, I thought about going through recruitment my sophomore year, but I was serving as a freshman team leader with our Honors College, and had to be at teamleader retreat during recruitment.
Kapp colonized that semester, and I was really interested. However, I'm kinda a chicken and was craning my neck to look at their table at the Student Union rather than going up and introducing myself. Luckily, a couple of my fellow teamleaders were interested in Kappa as well and I went wit them to a presentation. I was very impressed- it was well thought out and the women were really nice.
I accepted my bid October 13, 2002. The rest is history, I guess.
