dropped from every sorority ??

i only got an invite to one, and im so confused

idek did you feel like there was a specific reason for that? cause i'm curious if i'm missing sumthing

talk to your rho gammma! women can be invited back to 3rd round events without being invited back to 2nd round events so it doesn't necessary mean you're dropped. each org has different reasons for inviting people back or not, but a lot of it is logistics/administrative

im sorry you feel lost by the process it really might be a numbers game since there are a lot of y'all (also the girls complaining about only getting 1 or 2 invites back are being rude to the orgs who are keeping them in the process and giving them a chance)

@tired yeah no i def see what u mean i think though they're not trying to be rude it was just really hard to get to know the sororities from such short recruitment phase 1 events that it would've been nice to be called back by more places to have more opportunities to truly figure out which org suits them best / vice versa? not sure if i'm being clear but i also agree that having more opportunities is always nicer for both sides to really figure out what's the best fit. obviously they're trying their best, it's just really unclear if i'll like... ever get called back or if i should just move on.

just wanted to come on here and say recruitment is really different this year and we had a huge rise in numbers of girls who decided to come out this year. I know my org had to drop over half of the girls we saw because of our nationals and how many girls we can take. a lot of girls I really loved got dropped simply because of numbers/logistics reasons. please don’t harp on yourself and know you did nothing wrong! you will find your home and there is also ALWAYS next year <3

that's how i wish it went. i'm stuck in NY on a time difference with all my west coast friends living it up and i miss them so much and not to be dramatic but this just hit harder than expected when i already feel so isolated. the pandemic and online classes don't help. i don't mean this as a shade at all to those who organized it i'm sure people put a lot of effort and it's hard for everyone to figure things out, but it does hurt, and i'll prob just transfer to cali next year things keep not working out for me.

I think you guys are being super hard on the orgs - they don't know who other orgs are going to pick, so I don't think you can put this down to exclusivity. You can't manage to have super in depth conversations with 600+ girls. And please please please remember even if you don't get a first round invite you can get one later!!!!

I know this might be hard to believe but stuff like this happens during normal recruitment as well. I got dropped by 5 orgs after day one if recruitment when I rushed and it really sucked and I thought something was wrong with me. I later found out the org I ended up getting really wanted me and now I’m a senior and couldn’t have imagined it going any other way. I also know several girls who felt behind with the recruitment process that ended up doing informal and felt like it was much more personal if it helps.

like i get that it happens but i also feel like why me. everyone would be lying if they said sorority recruitment is solely about conversation or personality (please don't try i have family in greek life who know how it goes) but obviously conversation or personality is very important. i'm not someone who would be discriminated based on "stereotypical" appearance or material background AND i think that's a super small factor at nyu considering how diverse everyone is trying to be and is. so like what, my personality is just less appealing or more boring or doesn't standout compared to my friends who got all 7 bids? lol i got dropped by all of them and in some breakout rooms i didn't even have a chance to really talk for more than 2 minutes so what does that even represent. they're not doing a randomized number generator so clearly if i was dropped by all of them (which are each different levels of open minded and personality) there's something generally unlikeable abt me
