Just a note here:

If you're talking about ACCEPTING a bid and then dropping out/depledging--please be sure that it's something you financially can handle BEFORE you accept a bid (should you receive one).

different panhellenics set quota at different times thruout the recruitment week. i do not know when fsu sets quota.

discreetly ask your hostess if members can make monthly payments, or if the entire payment is due at the beginning of the semester.

i am not going to lie to you-as a sophomore with no recs. you will have a difficult time . i do wish you the best of luck !

This jumped out at me. Are recs necessary at FSU?

I had a friend who rushed last year at FSU as a sophomore. She actually had the max number of houses each day, and even had to cut one on a few rounds. She went to pref, and got her 1st choice. With that said though, that is RARE at a huge school like FSU, but I just wanted to show you it is possible. Good luck next week!

do you know if she had any recs?

kiteflyersmom-the young lady in question, fsu322, is a sophomore rushing without any recommendations. that puts a whole nother spin on the situation.

fsu322, at this late date you have 2 best choices in my opinion 1) try to round up as many recommendations at the last minute as you can or 2) just go thru the process and present yourself in the best possible way, be open to ANY invitations and accept all invitations.

hopefully, you have great grades and have gotten involved on campus in an organization or two and have done some volunteer work. the most recent girls i have known who rushed or re-rushed successfully as sophomores had great personalities, were pretty, had gotten involved in campus organizations(homecoming committees and dance marathon), did some volunteer work and both were deans list students. one got her top choice and the other got her 2nd choice, which, as i understand it now she cannot believe that she did not list first!

Honestly I am not sure if she had any recs or not. Good luck tomorrow though! Hope it does not rain too much
