going to rush as a sophomore
by: hopingI am transferring from Palm Beach State College to UF for next fall and I will be a sophomore. I am very pretty and am involved in school activities. I am going to rush and some of my friends from high school are already in a few sororities that I am interested in joining. My questions are 1. is it harder rushing as a sophomore transfer student? 2. if some girls from high school are still jealous of me can they keep me out of the sororities? I don't want to get stuck in a bad sororities just because these girls are still immature about high school stuff.

Thank you. I did not push anyone down the stairs. That would be a horrible thing to do and that is not my personality. These girls were so jealous of me in high school because I was the the president of my high school class and most of the guys liked me. I am afraid they will tell the other girls in the sorority that I am stuck up or something like that out of jealousy. Do the professors monitor the recruitment process to make it fair?

The professors here have nothing to do with Recruitment.
UF Panhellenic has rules set in place to make the process fair in that you aren't picking a house based on the cups of water they give you, etc., but rather the girls you talk to. They regulate like how many tables they can have out during a specific round, how long the video can be, etc., to make it more uniform.
Focus on your school year, because another quality that sororities look into is your GPA. Worry about Formal Recruitment this summer. :) Best of luck!

Not liking someone wouldn't be a "legitimate" complaint but it could very well get you cut... If you have a problem with a large variety of girls that got into good houses at a strong school then no, I promise they aren't jealous of "most boys liking you" lolll. Have you even been accepted to UF..?

the likelihood of getting dropped from a house from high school drama honestly depends on the chapters' recruitment ritual. if a respected sister has a lot of negative things to say about a PNM based on previous knowledge, her sisters most likely are gonna trust her opinion instead of the opinion of the sister who chatted with her for 5 minutes. result is, pnm might get dropped. sad but true

My mom was in a sorority but I don't think they have it at UF. She says that if I get dropped at a house I can call the main sorority office and find out if it was because of the girls at my high school. I know which sorority house I want to join and there are a few girls from my high school, but I think the house is pretty and I know it is popular. I just want to go there.

I don't think its works like that. Besides I doubt you'll get any bids with that attitude. Why would you want to go to a house girls will dislike you only because they're pretty and popular? You sound superficial and annoying and they'll see through it. They won't have to say its because the girls in high school, it sounds like you'll get dropped for being a brat.

Literally what on this Earth is wrong with you?
You seem confused by the idea that you'd be "kept out" of a sorority because... The members don't want you there?
Hi, we (sisters, not brats that havent even been accepted to UF) are in charge of deciding to offer anyone a bid. You are not entitled to one. From any house. You are not entitled to an explaination either.
You obviously have no actual familiarity with sororities beyond creeping around the Internet. The faculty and your mom (lolololololol) can not force girls to like you, and bid you. The fact that you see that as a possibility is really sad.
Finally, you're delusional to think top tier girls that got into UF are consistently jealous of you. The common denominator is.. You. That level of delusion at least insures that, no, you won't need to worry about getting "stuck" in any house at all.. sophomore from Palm Beach State, that's pretty distinctive, I'll keep it in mind ;)

This post actually made me chuckle aloud. The immaturity and lack of understanding of the process makes me think this is a high schooler. Poster I can assure you that even in a "bad" sorority you would be adrift in a sea of the most capable, sweetest, pretty faces imaginable to you. And what is a "good" sorority? One full of what you perceive as most popular or best looking? Can you imagine living your next 3 years with that group you may have nothing in common with even if you could fake your way in? 3 years at Guantanamo is preferable. You need to re-think every single sentiment you expressed before you rush (and never bring them up again!). And if you don't get a bid at a sorority "good" enough then you are free to walk away from Greek life altogether, 85% of campus is Not Greek

You can't go into rush thinking you know exactly which house you want to join. It won't end well. Focus on getting into a college where you feel at home first, and then focus on finding a house you feel at home in.
