Rejected from every single fraternity
by: Angry
I am a recent graduate, and I still feel hurt about this. I know people tell me it's no big deal, but those people are the types who hate Greek Life in the first place. The reality is I did miss out on parties, memories, adventures, friendships, and more. There is a reason why so many people in Greek life talk about it so fondly.
It especially sucks because the whole rush process feels so fake and dishonest. People say "just be yourself" and "there is a chapter for everyone" only to be walked out from every single house and be told to go somewhere else. Behind closed doors, they talk about how fraternities have to be selective and that they need to screen out "weirdos and freaks"
It is such a frustrating thing to deal with, and it makes me genuinely feel something is wrong with me. I still feel upset knowing that so many chapters decided that I am undesirable and unwanted.

I feel you, it’s definitely a frustrating process if you don’t fit the mold or aren’t the most social. Although I do believe there is a chapter for everyone, did you rush the smaller off campus houses when you were here? They’re usually a little more welcoming
The thing you need to recognize though is that you graduated, it’s time to move on with your life. Most people in greeklife are barely involved with it past their junior year and don’t really care about it once they graduate. The best thing you can do is think about what you enjoyed from IU rather than what you missed. There’s so much more to life than just college, don’t let some biased and exclusionary process from 4 years ago dictate your mindset and prevent you from enjoying your youth

Dude I won’t lie, if you got walked out of even KDR and Pi Lam then you probably were better off not being in a frat. This isn’t a diss to you, but I don’t think you would’ve enjoyed the experience or gotten the college experience you’re hoping for.
There’s a reason a house won’t give you a bid, and that’s that they don’t see you being a good fit. Even if you did end up there, it’s likely you wouldn’t be a good mesh with the culture.
