recruitment
by: Wannabe GreekI rushed last fall and was totally devastated when I when I didn't make it into a sorority. If I went through recruitment again would it be held against me that this was my second time going through? I am definitely not unattractive, I have activities, and I have a good GPA (3.75). I would love to be in a sorority, but I don't want to set myself up for being rejected again.

What probably happened was a combination of half the sororities had reached house total and the other half assumed you were going to one of those sororities so they didn't want to waste a bid. Maybe you said something innocuous about partying or cost of dues and they took it poorly. Either way if everything you say is true your pretty much guaranteed a bid if you go again

Since I was dropped by everyone, I definitely don't know it all...I admit I know virtually nothing about sororities, except that they have no problem cutting someone after just a few of their members talked with her for less than 1/2 hour. I know I'm not as sophisticated and attractive as a lot of sorority women, but I would like to think that you don't judge on looks alone. I would be a good member. I honestly don't think I said anything offensive or that could be taken wrong. I just know that it still stings when I think about the rejection.

Did you try open bidding? it is after recruitment, and the houses that haven't made quota (usually sigma kappa, delta gamma and alpha omicron pi) have an open rush. it is sort of like Spring Rush. Might be a good idea. Or try rushing again.
Did you really get dropped by all the houses? Even Sigma Kappa, DG, and AOPI?

Yes...I was dropped by EVERY house! It hurt really bad! I was really enjoying the whole experience and then -- WHAM -- I got a call early in the morning from the Rho Chi telling me I had NO invitations. I felt like I had been blindsided. Everyone seemed really nice and acted as if they really liked me, but obviously they didn't. I would love to be in a sorority, but I don't want to go through the pain of rejection again.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Did your rho chi tell you why? Because I don't know the situation around it, I can't give you advice. Perhaps going through recruitment again is a good thing, or perhaps, it is best to find other clubs on campus. I'm really sorry. I wish I could help. I wish you well.

What you are saying is not only mean, it is simply not true. Sometimes numbers get weird and people get cut.

Lol Mmkay whatever you say, it's "numbers" that someone gets dropped by every house. Sorry the truth stings.

Based on what "You Sound Pathetic" has written, I wonder how I ever made it into a sorority. In any event, I'm glad I'm not in the same house that she's in! There are lots of reasons that a girl would not fit in with a sorority, but I would never consider another person to be "not good enough". That's such an arrogant attitude!

"You sound pathetic" is herself, a pathetic person. How can anyone say that another human is not good enough? She sounds like a conceited, arrogant snob. She is the type of person that gives sorority women a bad name.

you might want to try one more time if this is something you really want. or you might want to try COB right after rush. Usually AOPI, DG and Sigma Kappa don't make quota, so they might have a party where they give out bids to girls who come to their house. Good Luck. If it works out great, if not, that is okay too. Sororities aren't everything. There are plenty of people in the world who have happy successful lives who weren't in a sorority.

I was dropped by all the sororities. I can't begin to tell you how much it hurt and what a blow it was to receive a phone call from the Rho Chi telling me that I had no invitations...I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach. A few weeks later I happened to run into the rho chi on campus and she said she couldn't understand why everyone dropped me. The only thing I can think of is that I didn't attend one of the "good" high schools. If that's the case, then I was judged by where I came from and not by who I am.
