UF sorority rush!

Good luck! And yes, there are plenty of people rushing and joining UF sororities who are not Floridians.

To answer your questions: Call the UF Sorority and Fraternity Affairs office. You can google their website and call to get an idea of costs for the sororities.

You will need alumnae recommendations for each UF sorority. Start asking around now and talking to your family and friends to secure them for all 16 chapters.

GGforever, I respectfully disagree. There's no need to do a summer start to meet sorority women. You also don't want to jeopardize your chances if you get a bad grade in summer school, as GPA is very important in recruitment. Also, the girls I met in school who started in the summer and partied with the Greeks ended up with poor reputations that hurt them greatly during recruitment.

This. They can give you at least an average cost. Keep in mind that your first semester is always the most expensive, housing aside - you have to buy a badge, pay initiation fees, etc.

This, too. You may be surprised to discover that your favorite high school teacher is an ABC alumna, or the woman whose children you babysat is an XYZ alumna. Teachers (including religious school teachers), friends of parents, parents of friends, aunts, cousins, older sisters of friends, older friends (some NPC sororities accept recs from active sisters as long as they're not at the same chapter where you are rushing) ... all are fair game. Ask. The worst that can happen is they say no.

Of course, if you're a legacy, ask your older sister / mom / grandma / etc. to send in a legacy form.

Good luck!
