Uf Rush

[ufkappachiguy]

UF had a much smaller rush in IFC/Panhellenic and it even flowed over into the non-traditional Fraternities like Kappa Chi (Christian).

I know for instance Panhellenic Quota was 51 when it usually is about 20 girls higher.

Some examples of smaller Fraternity class sizes were...

Kappa Sigma took 21

TKE took 22

Sigma Chi took 23

Lambda Chi took 16

these are some examples. my chapter took 15, we're also much smaller and non-traditional.

This has been attributed to:

*UF cut Freshman addmission from 6,500 to around 4,500 to 5,000.

*UF brought in a much more academically focused crowd that was less receptive to any type of Greek Life.

*The coinciding Rush Weeks. Panhellenic went August 18-25. IFC went August 21-25.

(Weather was great during Rush)

Last year Panhellenic's quota was 59 and the year before that it was 56.

This is the first year since I pledged (2001) that Panhel Recruitment coincided with the first week of class. According to our Recruitment Advisor, the number of women dropping out of recruitment increased noticeably this year, and it was probably at least partially attributable to this.

And what was that about the weather being nice? Because I drove up to help out on Friday, and I actually got hailed on outside of G-ville. In August!

I don't know where I heard this, but freshman admission to UF is up this year. I don't think that was the reason for lower membership. The weather was pretty awful... it rained EVERY DAY!! It was hot and because of the rain (and the fact that we live in a swamp) we were eaten alive by mosquitos. Just a yucky rush in general.

hmm....i seriously remember the weather being nice the whole week but then again, it was rush week and it was all pretty much a blur of names and faces.

i'm almost positive that freshman numbers were down this year. i'm looking for verification in the alligator.

UF Panhellenic quota has never been in the 70s, nor has it been below 50 in the 21 years that I've been involved.

The highest quota was maybe in the low to mid 60s, but never more than that.

I believe from what I've read on here and online, UCF had a higher quota than UF. Though because we had such a high quota and a lot of girls were dropped, there is talk about bringing another sorority on campus. I know whoever they bring in will be awesome because all the NPC's are great!!
