UCF Junior Transfer Student Joining a Sorority

[SigmaCat]

Yeah, I'd always thought that if you were in a graduate-level degree program and a sorority wanted to make you a member, they'd just initiate you as an alum. I assume the unanimous agreement covers informal rush activities too, not just formal rush.

Re the other issue, the UA indicates that if your college considers you a current, full-time student in a bachelor's degree program, you can rush regardless of previous degrees earned (and that is supported by my sister's experience). But just as there are some undergraduate programs that don't admit students who already have Bachelors degrees, it doesn't seem uber-far-fetched that some sororities might officially seek college-first-timers only.

Things may be a lot different now, but I joined after having gotten my AA. Also, ask some of your old high school teachers, female professors from your CC for recs. As others have said, you may know many Greek women but didn't realize it.

Best of luck to you and let us know how it works out!!

It’ll be a competitive rush. Many of the top rushing chapters at UCF only take juniors if there is an extenuating circumstance - the PNM is friends with girls in the chapter, has a great GPA, etc. Even with those attributes, cuts are still harsh for juniors since UCF doesn’t have an upperclassman quota. Go in with an open mind.

My sorority will consider a little bit lower grade for college since...it's college-level courses. And UCF strikes me as a shade more like an urban university, with a slightly more non-traditional student body (older average student, more likely to be working full time).
All that means is there's a chance of a chance!
So...this chance won't come around again. What have you got to lose?
Get your recs and go for it!!
