Totally Clueless about Rushing

For this reason, you need a rec for every single sorority. Even if you like a group, it doesn't mean they will like you.

I know, and I'm not casting any sororities off by any means. I'm fully open to all of them, I'm just saying that if I can't get a rec from some chapters, I won't be as heartbroken if I'm cut (I'll have a better understanding of why) and can concentrate more on ones that I feel I have a better chance with, and have the recs for to give me a boost.

I get the impression that they aren't a extra boost per se at UF. It's more like a must have.

Ah I'm really going to have to scramble for them , I only have 2 weeks. I just research local alumna somehow or is there a chapter database I can look at to find sisters?

I just saw this, so I apologize if I'm a week late to reply.

Without having gone through recruitment, how do you know which ones you "have a better chance with"?
