OP, be careful how you present yourself during rush. I'm not at a school like UF, so my thoughts may be different, and I also may be misunderstanding you, but I would be really turned off by some of your language regarding what you seem to want to get out of greek life. Many Greek organizations are built on lifetime commitments, and striving towards greater ideals. If the first thing you mention about greek life is that you're looking for a 2 year party binge, you may turn some people off, especially with your legacy status, since many brothers will be holding you to a higher standard so that they don't feel like they're simply admitting you because you're a legacy.

That being said, if the only question is when, why would you delay it?

Well people have told me delaying would give me more time to adjust to the "on-your-own" lifestyle. And I dont want to 2 year party binge I want to be balanced. That being said, UF is a school of balance with good athletics, academics, and parties. I want to commit to all three.

what kind of high school di dyou go to? Is it particularly big. UF is a VERY big school. I know that had I gone to a school of that size, the change of pace from high school to college would have been extremely overwhelming. Having the community of your chapter would defintiely make the transition easier. I also feel like having older students as friends makes the transition easier as well.
