round 2?

Your age will not help. Old Row may not be for you, but it's all cool. Expand your view and go for some of the new row groups. They have great brotherhoods too, but just aren't as notorious - er, famous - as the old row groups.

Check out other options and definitely don't go back to any that have already cut you. I've seen guys do that -- just keep going back hoping the outcome will be different. Unless something major has changed since the last time you tried, odds are it won't work out when you rush them again. There are too many other houses at Bama. Give them a look and you just might find yourself in a great brotherhood.

Just maximize your options and your age isn't that big of a deal.
Yes there's a quota for how many upperclassmen can get in but then again not a lot of upperclassmen rush in the first place.

the tribe has spoken. you need to explore options other than old row.

is more relaxed and fun anyway in my opinion, but I'm a girl

Don't quit rushing. Go new row.

I'm going to rush Old Row again and check some of the New Row chapters this time.

Just be realistic about your options.

Most guys when they look back at when they rushed realize some of the tell-tale signs that they missed that gave away whether they will get a bid or not. One for instance is when the members, maybe even just one or two, makes a special effort to make sure you know about fraternity activities, events, parties and such going on.

Sorry Old Row didn't work out for you, but keep trying other groups as well because even if its is only a two year experience for you, it will be the best two years of your time at Alabama. I guarantee it.
