Hey there!

I am an alum from UCO, not sure if that is where you are headed but I can give you the info on it at least. There are 4 chapters as you heard and Rush is nowhere as competitive as the big southern schools. In all honesty all four chapters are pretty great, just different. I would definitely recommend you go into recruitment with a very open mind and TRY to ignore the talk about the sororities. Most of what you hear is not true and pretty stereotypical.

As far as the pp on recommendations, I went into recruitment clueless with no recommendations and got my top house. I would say from my experience our chapter got MAYBE 5-6 recommendations from the 100-150 girls going through. That being said, recommendations are always a great way to stand out from the crowd and last year the number of women going through was UP a lot!

There is so much to say about recruitment, feel free to private message me if you have more specific questions or need help securing recommendations. Have a great time!

I hear Rodgers is getting this AWESOME new sorority, so if you want to be a part of history...that's one way to go...

Oh yeah, recruitment is NOT before school anymore, it is after school now. This year it is August 24-29th, Starting with Orientation, then the rounds go Open House, Philanthropy, Theme Night, Preference, and Bid Day.

If you go the UCO website, www.ucok.edu and click on student life, it takes you to the student life homepage. Click on greek life for info on each chapter, and more information including the application for recruitment.

One of the easiest and best Greek Life sites I have seen! Very easy to navigate!

Thanks!

What you say about keeping an open mind at UCO is true. For whatever reason, you may hear things prior to rush about certain groups. I can verify that all 4 groups at UCO are great organizations and each is completely deserving of consideration. Generally speaking, if you rush up there, you'll get a bid (or more) somewhere.

At least that's how it was when I graduated in '03.
