I'm sorry you feel down on yourself. Rush is brutal. That being said, you decided that you were too good for the houses you had left. That's on you. I seriously doubt you were released by everyone.

Thats too bad that you dropped out of rush.
Didn't you still have houses that wanted you?

Rush isn't about making every house love you, it's about finding the one house that does.

I guess one thing that might help you feel more condifent is that a lot of the houses have girls selected that they know they want to offer bids to before rush starts. It's not like you were deemed to be objectively "worse" than every other girl here in a fair contest.

No it isn't. It's much much worse! She can expect to be asked back by even fewer houses. Spoiled brat blew her best chance of being in a sorority by having a tantrum and dropping out!

Hey I totally get where you're coming from because I withdrew from rush my freshman year. However, rushing as a sophomore won't necessarily be any easier because houses often only take girls that are close friends with current actives. I rushed again sophomore year, and all the houses that cut me freshman year cut me again the second time. Also if you join as a sophomore you generally are closer with girls in your pledge class rather than girls in your academic year which can be tough sometimes.

So many girls have dropped this year, so know that you're not the only one feeling this way. If you end up regretting your decision in dropping and end up wanting to join a sorority, I highly recommend reaching out to your Gamma Chi and seeing if any houses are looking for COB's. I really wish I had done this after rush my freshman year because then I would have gotten to spend another year with a house and girls I love!

Unless you were cut by every house, you made a mistake. There were houses that wanted you.
