usually I just lurk on GC, but since I'm currently at UMD I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents! you absolutely do NOT need recs - I didn't even know what that meant until my biological sister rushed in the south. I will second the advice to wear cute flats or bring comfy shoes to wear in between parties. Dress warmly but avoid bulky jackets!

I'm going to be attending UMD in the Fall and I've been really interested in greek life!

When does the fall rush begin?

I believe UMD has fall informal for upperclassmen and freshmen can only participate in formal recruitment, which is in Jan.

I seem to be posting this alot lately, but:

It is never a good idea for a PNM to come on the internet and say "I want to be in or am interested in ________ sorority."

Recruitment is a mutual selction process that works best when PNMs are open to all chapters that are participating.

It's just not good to get your mind set on ONE particular sorority because you never know if they will choose to invite you back.

just to clarify: A freshman can go through informal recruitment during her first semester at Maryland, but she must have 12 credits and a 2.5 GPA to receive a bid. I suggest waiting until the spring to go through recruitment so that you can adjust to college life. I'm VERY flattered that you're interested in ZTA, but just remember that the internet isn't as anonymous as it looks! best of luck with recruitment and welcome to College Park

If you are really interested in ZTA, I'd assume it's because you know members, and they would be the first people most would ask about recruitment...anyway, fall RECRUITMENT begins shortly after classes begin.
