I am happy to share my daughter's good and bad experiences at UF recruitment from last fall. People were very kind to me when I was upset so I feel compelled to "help."
You should have two recs per house. My daughter didn't. She was the first to rush in my family and we only got twelve recs. You should rush as a freshman which you state you are planning to do. Mine rushed as a sophomore.
You should go in with a very open mind. Mine loved some and didn't like others. Only a few houses that she loved invited her back and the ones she didn't feel a connection to also did.
I think she was too "transparent" instead of keeping an open mind. It was also brutally hot that week and many (not just mine) were not happy with the clothes, hair and makeup.
Near the end, she stated it wasn't for her but when she did not receive a bid she was devastated. And like every other girl, she had the grades, personality, looks and social skills.
She rushed a local service sorority a month later. Ironically, only 30 out of 85 were accepted and she received a bid. Just as many have said "you end up where you're supposed to be." No sorority house but a bunch a great friends. She just did UF's Dance Marathon with her sisters and said it was life changing.
Get your recs and go with a good attitude and you'll be great. Let us know
