Yesterday I was only invited back to one sorority, but it was my top so I was happy. This morning tho I got a call while I was doing my makeup and getting ready for preference day and they told me I hadn't been invited back to any of the sororities. I'm trying not to take it personally or let it destroy my self esteem, but I can't help but wonder why...

There is a process that some do calles “COB”, or continuous ongoing bidding. So, while not quite as exciting, if your top house doesn’t fill all spots... they will extend COB’s. Especially since they wanted you until the end, it is worth asking about. Sometimes people just fall through the cracks. I know many people at other schools who did COB and were just as happy!
Good luck, and don’t let this define you!!

COB is only done if the "house" doesnt reach capacity and if they have people drop. So if its one of those "top" houses they may not have COB. I know DZ alwasy has COB but... well

In reply about the COB's.... I am not sure about San Marcos, however, sometimes, the sorority plans on giving x number of bids, and people drop them... so they end up with spots. It's not always the same sorority. It does vary campus to campus, but worth looking into.

A COB would be amazing but i'm honestly not sure if I should get my hopes up...I don't really want to get crushed again. In the meantime I'm just going to focus on getting through these last 3-4 months of freshman year. Even though I really hoped to make it through recruitment and join a sorority, there are other ways to get involved! I'll try and join some clubs or something, and maybe next year I'll go to some more informal Greek life events so sororities can really get to know me. Maybe i'll even rush again next year if i'm still up for it lol

COB is open and 2 houses are looking.. so go give it a try! And you're right, there are other clubs and organizations and there is always next year. Good Luck!
