Rushing as a POC SUCKED

by:    

Luckily I ended up finding a brotherhood that I'm happy to be a part of but rushing absolutely sucked.

I'd get dropped while the weirdest white kids would somehow end up getting bids. It was absolutely crazy how these "higher tier" frats would be able to forgive the fact that a guy was 5'0 with an inability to socialize if he was white but we'd be getting dropped even after socializing well with other brothers and having a good time for no apparent reason.

It seemed like the criteria were completely different for white people and poc. The poc were all competing for the one or two token spots and had to be practically perfect: athletic, good-looking, charismatic, probably in Wharton. While white guys were getting bids in groups.

It was a crazy and stressful experience. Probably one of those moments in my life that I really felt ashamed to be a minority. But I've learned from it and moved on.
