To my knowledge, there is not. Sophomores can get bids there, but they have to be pretty stellar. It's a school with more of a preference for freshmen.

For fsu322: We have another FSU thread going right now as well:

In this thread there is a link to the Tomahawk magazine which has recommended dress for each day of Recruitment as well as financial info. That info does not include things like: party favors, gifts, 'required' attendance at some sorority sponsored events, etc. Those costs add up very quickly, so keep that in mind, too. On a positive note, all NPC sororities have scholarship programs and you should apply for one when/if you become eligible.

I am almost certain that most of the sororities at FSU will have a payment plan. However, you must remember that the dues are per semester so you will have from August/Sept. through early Dec. to make payment in full in the best case scenario.

Also, I just want to say something here....FSUZeta is correct in that it will be more difficult for you to get a bid as a soph. However, it is not impossible. In fact, a few chapters at FSU wll cut you because you are not a freshman, but there are many outstanding chapters there that have taken not only sophomores but juniors in the past 2 years.

I have read posts here, on a frequent basis, telling Florida girls that it is next to impossible to get a bid after freshman year at FSU, UF, and UCF. That might be true in some places, and sophomore and junior pnms at those places should all just give it up, perhaps. That is simply not true here in Florida. I have told active FSU and UF sorority girls about PNM's coming here and getting discouraging advice and they just widened their eyes and said that it is just not necessarily true in Florida.

Is it tougher? Probably. So tough that you should just give it up? Not at all.

This is very true.

It's probably not impossible.

I will say though that a sophomore or junior is going to have to be open-minded.

If you're an upperclassman, you're probably going to have a hard time if you only want to be in certain chapters.

YES!

There are more than a few chapters at FSU, UF, and UCF that are great....and will take sophomores and junior. The thing to remember is that these schools (esp. UF and FSU) have so many chapters that offer a great experience.

However, if one goes in with the "I will only be an XYZ because they were featured as the prettiest group in Playboy" (yes, it happened according to one FSU sister) or " The LMN's are the best and since I am the best that is the group for me" attitude as a soph. or junior, then yes- give it up. Hope that made sense, lol.
