Would you say that each chapter would probably take or two juniors per pledge class? or a few chapters may take one or two juniors while others will not? I too am curious and would love to know.

A few chapters will take juniors, not all the chapters will do so. Spring recruitment at FSU is quite limited, usually only 2-5 chapters, if that, participating. A lot depends on the number of graduating seniors in December and if that drops a chapter below campus total (120 or 130, I believe).

Do you happen to know how many at FSU accept Juniors or which ones would be great because I am going to be a junior going through recruitment and I dont want to miss out because I dont know which ones will even accept me because I put down the ones that wont.

I don't know how competitive rush is @ FSU, but I joined a sorority @ 20 as a Junior transfer. I love it!

just go in with an open mind and accept as many invitations as you can for each round-in other words maximize your chances.

As always, these lovely women have provided you with excellent advice.
I would like to correct a statement you made in your orginal post. The University of Florida DOES NOT allow community college students to partake in formal Panhellenic recruitment nor join a GLO prior to attending UF full-time.

Several fraternities at UF, however, have long practiced the intake of SFCC studnets into their chapters. I'm unsure of how they deal with this, but I do know of a particular instance in which the "member" was not a "member" in the eyes of their nationals, until he became a full-time student at UF. I'm assumming your friends who did this at UF are all male?

Best of luck, I hope you decide to rush when you become a student at FSU, their Greek system has an excellent reputation.

You won't be missing out on anything if you go through formal recruitment in the fall-- this is the one time of the year when you have an equal chance to interview with every chapter on campus.

Some chapters will cut you early on due to your class standing or GPA. There is no list of the sorority chapters that take or do not take juniors; this is something that changes year to year depending on the needs of those chapters.

If you have any questions about how FSU recruitment works, please contact the Office of Greek Life at FSU.
