Rushing as a transfer @ UF

[KSUViolet06]

Rushing as a junior at Florida is competitive.

It's probably moreso for a transfer, because you don't know many people on campus or women in sororities.

Recs are a must because I can guarantee you that most of the freshmen will have them.

The best thing to do is go in and be open minded to all of the chapters you're meeting. Also, don't be surprised if you experience heavy cuts early on. As with most schools, there are likey going to be chapters that (for whatever reason) just prefer freshman PNMs.

Are you in Gainesville now?

If you are, I suggest you really get out there and meet all of the sosority women you can that are also there for summer session. You will have to step it up and just introduce yourself to people and use this time to your advantage.

Your quest will be a tough one! You really need the whole package to stand a chance - from amazing grades, recs, personality, conversation, involvement, confidence and the list goes on. Please prepare yourself for every avenue.

Best of Luck!

Seriously... Can we cut the shit for once?

There are MAYBE a few groups that would seriously consider taking a junior transfer. The only exception would be if upperclassman quotas are in effect here. Then, she might have a shot if the houses like her... Still a long shot.

Other than that, you would need to look at the houses on campus who need/want to get up to total.

So, maybe girl has a shot. But, let's be honest to her... By "heavy cuts," she should know she'll probably be dropped from MOST houses the first round. After that, maybe she'll have three-four houses left in the running.

It's not impossible... It's is not PROBABLE, either. This is UF, peeps.

It's like telling a junior transfer going to Ole Miss -- go out and meet the XOs, DDDs, DGs... Maybe if you befriend them they can have some pull with getting you in... Really? One girl knowing you from a summer class alone is gonna change the minds of 150 other girls who just know you as a junior transfer? Doubtful.

KNOW YOUR ROLE, advice-giving-peeps.
