sophomore rush experience

I got what I wanted as a freshman. I am in a top house. Did a suicide. I did not want those other two houses, was willing to take the chance. I am an ADPI..... so glad I did what I did. I did not want to go rush again.... love my house and my sisters.

I had the same experience as a sophomore. Bids from crappy houses. I dropped out. Did not want to belong to AXO, KKG, or PHI Mu. I just realized it was not meant to be. I am going to be a Senior this year, totally got over it. In ten years this will not be a hill of beans. It did back then, but not now. It does not matter now, I am going to Law School.

Went thru last fall, got dropped by all the houses I wanted did not go to prefs. I now have lots of friends in DDD, ADPI, and KD. I am hoping that I will get a bid from one of those houses. I was really upset last Fall, but did not want to belong to the houses that wanted me. I am not going to name any houses in order not to offend anyone. If I do no not get a bid from a house I like this time around, will nnnot loose any sleep about it. I like those 3 houses only.

I understand going in already not wanting certain houses. I'm rushing as a sophomore as well and I have a few houses in mind where I know I wouldn't fit, based on personal experiences. But not wanting any house but 3 of the top tier houses is suicide. You probably won't get them unless you've gotten super involved with important things, like SG, cicerones, cheer, or something. And I don't think anyone wants girls who only think 3 sororities would suit them. More probably would and you should be more open to them.

I rushed as a sophomore and got 3 houses on prefs that I didn't fit in with at all. I accepted a bid and dropped a week later. I rushed again as a junior and had a MUCH better experience. I had a full sched every day and preffed at 3 houses that I LOVED and now am in the perfect chapter for me

we i went through,i got dropped completely. i ended up being really affected by it and upset.however i rushed a second time and i received a bid and now am in a chapter and sisterhood i never would have seen myself in. go in and be completely and unapologetic you. that way if/when you get a bid it's for who you are and if worse case you get dropped,you at least can go on without wondering what if?

true story - rushed as a freshman, tried to be the person I thought each house wanted to see and ended up with 2 houses I couldn't see myself in round 3 then I dropped. the other houses could see right through the fake. re-rushed as a much more mature and confident sophomore, was true to myself and didn't give a crap about what girls rushing me thought or what I might've thought they would've wanted to hear. got full schedules every round and 2/3 houses I loved on prefs. now I'm a happy sorority girl ~~~~

moral of the story - be confident in and true to yourself

i love reading these type of posts they are super insightful honestly
