Not cool! You can't disappear for 2 months, post, and then leave us hanging like that! :p

Can't wait to hear the rest!

I wanna know what happened, lol

OK, way not cool. I finally found a rush thread that sounds a bit like what I'll be going through (my school is also on the smaller end with only a small handfull of sororities) and it vanishes into thin air. I second whoever said "Accio Update" (I'm also a Harry Potter Nerd. Really just an overall Nerd)

Please finish the story....

I am so so sorry for leaving this story hanging for so long! I promise I'll update more often now! (Please please forgive me!)

---------------------

My appointment is later in the day. I walk in to meet my Rho Chi. She tells me that it’s been a long day and she has to step out for a moment. After about 5 minutes she comes back and tells me to follow her. I follow her and find myself in the Director of Greek Life’s office (We’ll call her Greta). The Rho Chi leaves us and shuts the door. Greta asks if I have checked my voicemail at all today. No, I haven’t been back to my dorm all day. She tells me that she’s very sorry, but I have no received any pref invites. I’m welcome to try for rush again, but at least this time around, rush is over for me.

I’m numb. I’m absolutely numb. What did I do wrong? The girls all liked me. I was engaged in conversations, I was interested – really interested. I gave thoughtful and truthful answers about why I wanted to go Greek. I told Greta that I went through rush with no expectations, but after meeting the girls, I had my heart set on joining a sorority and that I feel like an absolute failure. She tells me that this is not uncommon. As I stand up to leave the room, I turn to ask if this has happened to anyone else. She says, not in the past 3 years. Thanks, Greta. That makes me feel a lot better.

I go back to my dorm. I am so happy that Rachel is not around. I bolt the door and burst into tears. I can’t believe this has happened to me. The more I met the ladies, the more I wanted to be a part of the group. I couldn’t help but dwell on it.

Eventually Rachel comes home and asks me what my outcome was for pref night. I told her that I had received a pref to Gryffindor, but I wound up turning it down because it really wasn’t the group that I wanted. She tells me she so sorry, but that she understands why I did what I did. To this day, Rachel doesn’t know about my lie.

-------------------

Nope, it's not over yet, so stay tuned!

Ok snap bid??? a mistake??? rerushed next year??? i want an update please :)

Was this "unique" because she got dropped from rush....................? Maybe there's some big ending, like a pterodactyl ate two of the sororities and most of the campus, so she was the only one left and started pledging the last house standing. This story is lacking in details! Need! Details!

Wow, Greta's kind of like a bitch.

~~Tangent: When I rushed in the Jurassic period, most people didn't even have answering machines, let alone voice mail. Nowadays, is it really considered kosher for the Rho Chi to leave a message that you were dropped from rush, or is she supposed to keep trying until she gets the actual person?

too funny! I guess I rushed in this period as well. We were told to stay by the phones (landlines that is).

So you ACTUALLY had pterodactyls eat some of the sororities, as AnotherKD suggested?

:p

Me three! Except our bids were delivered to our door...which led to me jumping every time there was a knock on the exterior suite door or the phone rang. Door = good; phone = bad.

I think (as far as my school goes), it depended on the individual PX. Some left messages, others wouldn't deliver the news unless until they actually got you on the phone (either dorm or cell). If possible, they were supposed to actually talk to you on the phone, but with like 15 girls in a group and tons of stuff to do, that isn't always possible (esp. if you've called like 3 times and no one is picking up).
