what to do?

But I love Alabama and could never go anywhere else. I am from out of state but from a very wealthy zipcode

not true

I'm just afraid Sigma Kappa won't colonize until my senior year and I won't get a chance to bond with my sorority sisters

If it continues to go up every semester like it has in the past, will I have a shot in the spring for some of the houses that do Spring rush? Or possibly next year if it's over a 3.5? I'm planning on bringing it way up in the next few years because it needs to be at least a 3.7 when I graduate

Sorry but that's the truth. The tribe has spoken.

You has two unsuccessful formal recruitments. Also, last year when total got raised because of the AA scandal, a lot of houses were giving any girl with a pulse a bid. No one contacted you then either. It's obvious there's something about you that doesn't click. You won't be Greek here.

attende a variety of COB events, and attend ten spring recruitment events. With spring recruitment, I was never informed I needed to set my final preferences. I am a former pageant queen from an affluent family who started her own charity and worked in politics, I thought I was well qualified. It also bothers me when people complain about their obligations when they are Greek because I would kill to have those

Just from your responses here I can kind of tell why no one wanted you.

I'm frustrated because I don't know what I am doing wrong. I thought I presented my self as a qualified candidate. Then, I hear about grade risks and girls like Peyton getting bids and I feel like there is something wrong with me and I don't know what is. I didn't want or expect a top tier bid, I honestly wanted to go to a lower tier house and was open to any house. There was one I fell in love with and had up until skit, I really wanted that house and would do literally anything to be in it. I'm going to rush ADX because it aligns with my values and they still participate in everything

You come off as rude, arrogant, unaccountable and an argumentative know-it-all for starters. If you seem to be only 1/4 of what you act like here, then I understand why everyone passed on you multiple times.

I honestly don't intend to. It's that I have tried literally everything, and was hoping to find some new suggestions. I LOVE Alabama and couldn't see myself anywhere else. But being so far from home, it feels like something is missing. I want to be greek so badly, it's something I really think I would enjoy as well as something that I dreamed about for years

I'm sorry, but your responses to people here who are genuinely trying to help you show that you are a little too picky at this point with what you want.

I don't know you, so I can't say for sure, obviously, but I definitely wouldn't be shocked to learn that there is some fire behind the "it's not us, it's you" theory.

Just because you give someone a suggestion it doesn't mean they have to follow it. She's probably already thought of some of your suggestions and rejected them. Stop acting like her boss and trying to shame her for not doing as you suggest.

As a member of ADX, there are actually a number of Catholics in our sorority. We do not discriminate based on denomination. Our Devo chair has even been a catholic in the past. Don't let that discourage you. We would love to meet you! Our info meetings are going to be next Tuesday and Thursday! Our rush chairs email is ajtidwell@crimson.ua.edu if you want to get in touch with her!

That is wonderful to hear!

OP, you should definitely check into ADX!

Wishing Sigma Kappa sisters lots of success!

No, she's clearly rude. She thinks she deserved a bid when she clearly is socially retarded.

Imagine if you were her... I would definitely want her in my house with that resume! So what if she's a little argumentative? Isn't everyone at times? Maybe she just didn't have the connections. Don't call someone socially retarded that you don't know. That shows more about your character than hers, bless your heart!

She DID NOT act like she deserved a bid. She mentioned several times that she had worked hard to build a good resume, that she would have been happy in any house (except SDT for religious reasons), and that she is putting herself out there asking for advice. I think "Ummmm" sounds like one of those really hateful ladies on greekchat who put down every girl who asks for help. I'm happy that there have been several helpful comments on here as opposed to this hateful greekchat-type comment.
