UF Recruitment

[atoheadlines]

Still Syndey all I am saying is if you are lucky to have members still in the sorority you have a greater chance of joining because you have a bond already and can learn more about it easier. She can join already have been mentored about the organization by having family in it already.

You are wrong. We'd appreciate it if you stopped giving advice to girls when you clearly know nothing about sorority recruitment. Legacy status itself guarantees you nothing with regard to membership selection so having family members in a particular organization wouldn't be a guarantee either. Legacies ROUTINELY get cut from their legacy chapters all over the country! Do you know how large these chapters are at UF? Do you know this girl's cousins? Do you really know that they can get her in? Don't tell her that she's going to get a bid if you don't know. Our process is not the same as your's so butt out.

Maybe, maybe not. Also, this isn't even the case with the OP. Another thing, at schools like UF chapter size if often upwards of 200. Having a cousin or two in a chapter doesn't gurantee a thing. I really think you need to stay in your lane. You aren't a member of an NPC sorority and therefore are (perhaps unknowingly) giving misleading advice.

Don't act like you girls don't talk. You are gonna be like my cousin Sally is going through rush and are gonna point her out and everyone is gonna know she is so and sos family member. More than likely if the sorority doesn't give her a bid then it is gonna be drama with the member because her family didn't get in. Greek life is never as blind and fair as we pretend. There are always those who get by in life by who they know not what they achieve.

Please don't be degrading to women. "Don't act like you girls don't talk"? What, we're women and therefore all prone to the same cattiness? I call bullshit. Please don't mislead the OP or others into thinking that she is guaranteed a bid because if they don't it will cause "drama". According to you there must be drama in sorority houses all the the time, and frankly, not letting someone's cousin in is at the low end of the drama spectrum.

Oh God no.

[atoheadlines]

She might be a loser and won't get invited to preference night by her cousins sororites but most likely she will get invited over some random stranger off the street. All Greek organizations as in life has drama. I am just saying that if I had a family member and we didn't invite them back I would be mad so I am sure if this girl wasn't atleast given a chance it would cause problems.

This is a popularity contest, she has access to so many organizations already so I doubt she will have trouble finding the right one between her easy pick. Her chances of getting into one is higher with active family and it is damn higher than some regular girl. She has a high success rate to be atleast considered by one of her families' organizations.

This is why recs need to be deleted. They are a must as a tradition to show how well connected you are. All recs say is you know the right people. The girl who doesn't know anybody is excluded or she gets a pity rec from and alum she doesn't know. Why not pick someone for who they are instead of how connected they are.


You might not go where you are a legacy but you don't join a random organization usually. You atleast go where someone in your family has been before. You can tell me how many random off the street people end up in your organization, probally not many. I can guarantee unless it was an off year everyone in it has a tie somehow and that is why you are in it.

[atoheadlines]

You all act like we are random ppl in random places that randomly become part of something. I am not saying she will get in or won't be cut by everyone. Don't act like you wouldn't have killed for connections when you went through an SEC recruitment. If you had a family member who was in it you thanked God because that made it a little easier. I don't care how big something is unless her cousin isn't very involved any connection gets you a higher chance over somebody that doesn't know anyone. The more people you know the more likely it is. If she has large breast and blonde hair maybe she won't need a family member to get into that said organization but having one sure does help. Everyone her cousins got recs from she can. It makes it easier than a blind manhunt for some alumnae.

YOU. ARE. NOT. IN. A. SORORITY. AND. THEREFORE. SHOULD. NOT. COMMENT. PERIOD.

You can have you horrific opinions, but YOU CANNOT BLOW UNNECESSARY SUNSHINE UP THIS PNM'S ASS BECAUSE YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND SORORITY RECRUITMENT.

GOODBYE!

You have no idea how sorority membership selection works at any school, much less an ultra-competitive one like UF. You're a joke. So stfu.

[baci]

I do know how UF selection works and I won't even touch this in the least! (ridiculous)
