Yay! A Gator! Greek or no Greek, you're at one of the happiest places on earth for undergrads

My thoughts on your situation (take these with a grain of salt!): Your GPA isn't that great for sorority purposes, and that will account for early cuts. So will being a sophomore with some of the chapters. Not all of the chapters will have super high GPA req's and year in school rules, but most will. You have a good attitude about keeping an open mind, so just expect these cuts coming in and keep going!


You certainly have a shot at being offered a bid through formal recruitment! Just know your options are fewer than a freshman with a high high school GPA. DO list your HS GPA and activities on your recruitment application and to your recommenders.

Make sure you have recommendations for all the sororities. Being a legacy at UF doesn't stand for much b/c so many legacies go through recruitment each year, so continue to keep that open mind!

These thoughts aren't meant to dissuade you from rushing-- just know to expect fewer options than someone else with a higher GPA and who is a freshman. I wish you the best of luck!

I hate to rain on your parade...

Realistically, at Florida, you will have a real problem with grades. Although you meet the minimum cut off to go through recruitment, your GPA is below every NPC sorority's average GPA at Florida. See the following link. http://www.greeks.ufl.edu/resources/...radeReport.pdf
You need to really work on your people skills and your sparkling personality, or you may be headed for disappointment. Your best bet outside of that is to make friends with some of the girls and get them pulling for you.
