Rushing as Junior...?

[ufpiphi]

Smiley said it pretty well.

Just to add to it, I'll try to categorize some of the schools for you quantitatively (I'm an econ major, everything is better for me in numbers )

FSU, UCF and UF have very large, competitive rushes with quotas in the upper forties to lower sixties range.

USF, UNF, UMiami and Stetson have smaller, less formal rush processes. Their quotas are all over the board, but from what I've been told (someone please please please correct me if I'm misinformed) they do not exceed the forties.

FCGU, Rollins, FIU, FAU and Jacksonville University are even smaller schools as a whole with naturally smaller greek systems. For example, FCGU has only 3 sororities.

That said, I've seen juniors receive bids at UF, so its not impossible per say, but can be difficult at the school where there are 900 freshman rushing. It helps to have friends currently in the school's greek system.

I hope your friend decides to give it a try!

FMU has NPHC sororities; the NPHC intake process is very different than the OP's question, which is regarding NPC recruitment.

i am not aware of "upperclassman rules=free upperclassman" at any of our florida schools.

fgcu currently has 2 sororities and they will participate in formal recruitment in about a month. a third sorority will be colonizing at fgcu after formal recruitment. last years quota was 42.

I wish I still had my retro thread up because I would refer you to that.

Is she a legacy to any chapters? Is she going to have recs? I found that while neither of these are terribly important, they can certainly help.

I went through rush at UCF as a junior and got a bid, but I didn't have much of a choice as far as cutting chapters until my last day or so. If you want more advice/what to expect, you can PM me.

ETA: I have never heard of the upperclassmen rule... if this was true I probably wouldn't have had such a hard time!
