Of course... it's possible in some cases that a person would grow to love her last choice group after she gives it a try for a few weeks.

Anyway, the point may be moot since we don't have confirmation if UCF guarantees placement or not. Very few schools do.

hey breathesgelatin, is your signature now meant to get everybody fired up for Bloomsday?

Ditto on your Screen Name. I'm ready to find my Dexys Midnight Runners LP.

I did a little interesting research in the last 5 minutes. Quota last year was 52, down from 60 in 2006. In IrishPipes thread, it showed that most houses took quota plus. When I went to UCF's website for the fall grades, only 2 houses had at least 52. Did that many girls depledge?

I second ADPiUCF. I rushed as a sophomore after "depledging" (if you call it that..)as a freshman... You won't get immediately cut from every chapter, but some chapters will consider you differently then they would a freshman.

However, don't let that get you bummed out. Every chapter IS extremely wonderful at UCF; luckily for us there is a great sense of respect and friendship amongst UCF greeks.

I am also a sophomore at UCF who is planning on rushing in the fall. I don't really know any sorority alums, at least not in chapters at UCF, so I'm rec-less (not reckless though ). Hopefully those two things won't affect my chances too much! UCF does have a great Greek system and I am really excited to be involved in it!

Just because your friends in sororities don't have chapters at UCF, that doesn't mean they won't be able to help you out. Ask your friends if they know anyone in the sororities represented at UCF.

Judging from what I've read here, it's not required, but recs definitely do help. Since you have some time before Fall Recruitment, maybe it might be a good idea to at least put in some effort in securing some.
