Am I setting myself up for disappointment? / Florida State

I don't think anyone has already mentioned this--FSU uses separate quotas for freshmen and upperclassmen with RFM. So every chapter takes a minimum number of upperclassmen. With that being the case, you actually have an advantage over any juniors who are going through, and possibly over any sophomores who had an unsuccessful recruitment the first time around, if a lot of chapters feel that they have already made up their mind about them.

No. That's not how uppperclassmen quotas work.

Every chapter can take a number of upperclassmen above the "regular" quota, IF THEY WISH. No sorority is *forced* to take upperclassmen.

I think you should definitely go through recruitment. I did and I was not successful, but then AOII re-colonized at my school and I signed up for their recruitment. Colony recruitment, in my opinion, is more competitive than Panhellenic formal recruitment, because there can be hundreds of women trying for just one house. However, do not let that intimidate you! The best thing is to be yourself, show up looking nice, and practice your conversation skills! This goes for formal rush and colony.

Honestly, the way you present yourself is extremely important. I learned a lot from my past experience and am now I proud colony member of AOII

Sorry- I meant to convey that it was the norm there, not that it was a requirement.
