to anyone disappointed with recruitment

Confused - running home is accepting a bid (when you ranked your chapters after pref round, you basically said that you would accept a bid from any of the chapters on your list). Talk to people (RhoGammas, officers in the sorority, other people in the sorority, Office of Student Life/Sorority and Fraternity Affairs office) and if you have concerns, talk about them. Get to know your pledge sisters as well as the active sisters and alumnae. Do things with people in the chapter so you can evaluate if it is for you. If you drop, you have to wait until next fall to go through recruitment again(if you choose to do so). If you are initiated and then choose to drop/quit/have your membership revoked, etc, you can NEVER join another National Panhellenic Council sorority (there are 26 of them). Take a few weeks to a month to decide whether sorority life is for you. AOT

Not sure how rules work: Maybe you could look at joining Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Zeta Phi Beta, Gamma Eta, Sigma Lambda Gamma, Zeta Phi Beta. They belong to other Greek councils (National Pan-Hellenic and Multicultural Greek).

Some chapters form cliques right off the bat so if you're persistent really try to get to know the people. Also, if you're disappointed you didn't get to be in a "hot" sorority, get over yourself. You should be looking for a lifetime of friends not fake instagram photos and status.
