So last fall I made a decision to rush and I was so excited about making new friends (I live up north and don't know anyone). Rush week went ok until the last day when I got dropped from everything. I was devastated and cried a bit but I decided to move on and pretend it was not a big deal to me. I still felt so left out and lonely and did not have anyone to go to and I thought if I could just be in a sorority I would be happy. Weeks after bid day I was still very upset but then mom passed away and it changed my life completely. Even thought she passed months ago I am still heart broken and I would do anything to have her back :'( . I have been trying to cope by meeting new people but it is so hard when I hardly know anyone. I feel like if I were a part of a sorority I would be a part of a new family with sisters. After I didn't get in a sorority my mom would always tell me to go to church and branch out to girls there but it hasn't worked. I find it so hard to get connected when everyone is part of a sorority and I'm not. My mom told me to try my best again next year, but every post I see on this website says it's near impossible to rush as a sophomore and saying that if they didn't want you then, they won't want you now. I want to make my mom proud, but I don't want to be humiliated again. Any advice? Is rushing my sophomore year worth it, or will I get cut? What is the best way to make new friends in Oxford, regardless of being in a sorority? Thank you <3
