University of South Florida Rush 09!

This year is the 1st year freshmen are required to live in dorms so hopefully it will help raise the numbers. Even though USF is a large school like Twinkle said it has had the commuter mentality, we are just starting to get away from that.

Exactly what I was thinking, but I would of thought the number of girls going through recruitment would be higher than the norm. I don't know if this is a rumor, but I heard that the USF President isn't supportive of greek life and that is why she made a greek 'village' and not 'actual housing'.

They were very scared to have housing for Greeks. They did intensive studies and decided to choose a Greek Village similar to what other schools had started doing. This way it is safer having all the houses together, and easier to control. Dr. Genshaft was actually the one who gave the final go ahead but it wasn't just her decision it was alumni, faculty, administrators, deans etc.. that were all involved.The layout for the houses were chosen not to look like houses incase it didn't work they would make them into dorms (that is not a rumor).
