Rerushing a frat that dropped you

if your friends end up getting a bid and you gel with them it could help you get a bid, however getting dropped previous years casts a lot of doubt and second years opinions aren’t always valued as much in rush since theyre learning. i would suggest sticking with your current options. accepting a bid doesn’t disqualify you from rushing the next year if you drop. pledging is all about becoming close with the house so you may surprise yourself. also not being in greek rank when all your friends are can be alienating since they’ll be spending a ton of time with their new pledge classes. stick it out you might end up happier

I'm in a sorority so it may not be the same as yours but whatever. I was in a similar position my first year when I rushed as I was dropped by houses I really wanted but got a bid from one I was iffy on. I decided not to accept and then the next year I got a bid from the one I wanted. It may be a little different from guys though. I will say since you guys still have a week left of rush, stick it out and see how things go and if you still aren't sure a frat is right for you or not then you don't have to pledge, but if your friends pledge one of the ones you wanted, then ask them about how you can get a bid for the following year. Good luck and no matter what decision you make, it'll be the right one :)

don’t join a frat if your heart isn’t in it, but just because you have friends in greek life when you rush 2nd year doesn’t guarantee you a bid. i know a lottttt of people who never joined greek life at all bc they assumed they’d get a bid at the frat/srat of their choice and didn’t lmao. plus you don’t know if you’ll still be friends with those people by next spring, that’s a whole year away and a lot can happen in between

I would say re rushing the same frat as a second year isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but if people remember you for something negative from the year before, that could still definitely hurt you. Not saying that is the case with you just what I know from prior voting experience

See how this year's rush goes for you then decide. You have a week left
