anyone else thinking about dropping?

by: Disappointed

I am having a hard time with the rejection by so many chapters I loved and felt I had connected with. I expected some of them but not all of them. I'm trying to stay positive and I am trying to refocus in the houses I'm going to today but I am really hurting on the inside. And I was really surprised my gamma Chis just handed out our lists and made themselves unavailable to us to talk to them.

You're not alone. I promise you. There are so many beautiful, smart, and kind girls who feel exactly as you do right now. This is the hard part that isn't talked about. Going Greek is a great thing to do- but it doesn't define you. You define you. But just know you're not alone.

Stick it out! Remember the houses inviting you back are the ones who really see something in you! Pref can be a real game changer! And sometimes, after you join a house, it might take a few weeks, but eventually you'll see that that's where you belong and you won't be able to imagine yourself anywhere else. The system does work, I promise.

And remember, the chapters are putting on a show, they're trying to make you like them and they're trying to make you feel that connection, which if they're good at recruitment, they can do that, but it doesn't mean that's your only hope. Sometimes the love for a group takes time to grow. Recruitment is only one small part of greek life!

Hang in there and keep your heart and eyes open. Close your ears to the other PNMs around you. You most likely have only known them for about a month . Don't let them sway you on the decision that is YOUR decision. Choose what is best for you. It's nobody's business how many houses you were asked back to or which houses - that's your personal information. I know you're exhausted, probably hot and emotionally drained. If you want it you will stick with it . You only need one house that you like to have the sorority life you always dreamed of . The houses spend a lot of time trying to show you what makes them unique, but in the end we are all just a bunch of girls having a great time and making lifelong friendships. It's time to let those who dropped you go and thoroughly embrace your final parties ! Good luck! 😊

Thank you ladies for the thoughtful and kind answers. You were far more helpful and encouraging than my gamma chis. I am going to go tomorrow and see how it is before I make any decisions.

Sounds like a plan! More than anything, it's the friends you'll make that counts. Just see who you would want to have as a friend...it's as simple as that. Keep your heart open and trust your gut. If you don't feel a connection, then it's your choice alone. Lots of women found comfort in you being so open and honest about the very hurtful part of rush. You should feel proud. Good luck today!!!

That's the spirit Disappointed! This weekend is not for the faint of heart. You have to dig deep and decide what is best for YOU. The houses that invite you back are all you need to think about at this point. Go enjoy the last party(ies). They are typically serious and the members really show you what it's like to be a part of their sisterhood. I sincerely hope you feel it with at least one house tomorrow. Once your done for the day carefully list only the houses you would be happy to open a bid from on Monday. As for any other PNM getting in your head........it's none of their business. Good luck and enjoy!
