UCF Recruitment

[sherbertlemons]

UCF definitely does not guarantee bids. However, as long as your grades are good, and you go in with an open mind, you stand a pretty decent chance.

Sophomore standing can affect you, but it is nowhere near as bad as at some schools. Back in my day, I think a sophomore who was otherwise a strong candidate would at least have a chance at every chapter. Again, having an open mind is imperative, and recs wouldn't kill you either. (They're not all that common at UCF in my experience, so they will help you stand out.)

Thanks everyone for answering my question! All your answers were really helpful. I'm currently in the process of trying to get my recs right now, so I'm glad I got on that.

Agreed--- bids are not guaranteed.

Sophomores are at a greater disadvantage than freshmen at some chapters, but not all chapters.

Not all chapters get a lot of recs, but many do and they are coming in increasing numbers each year. When I was in school, we got a lot at my chapter. I can't speak for the others.

It's cliche, but keep an open mind to every single chapter, just as you would want each chapter to give you a fair shake! Each chapter is between 80-150 members. If you can't find friends in a group that size, I think the problem does not lie with the sorority! LOL.

The UCF Greek System is going to be a fantastic experience, no matter what chapter you call home. More than 10 years after joining, I still love ADPi, but I know I would have been proud to call any of the UCF sororities my home! I was in a wedding last weekend where the bride was a UCF Chi-O, and her attendants included ADPi's, a Tri-Delta, a KD and other Chi-O's It's a wonderful Greek community, and you're going to have a great time at recruitment!
