You went into recruitment concerned with stereotypes and reputations and you continue to be too concerned with with them. A colony is not a way to "avoid" a stereotype nor a consolation prize for a failed recruitment. It's a very different situation and a lot of work, so it's something you need to think a lot about before joining.
You're at a very competitive school and sophomore re-rushing is even more difficult. So if you decide to do that, you need to be prepared for a similar result. Be honest with yourself and know whether or not you can handle it.
Lastly, did you have recommendations? You need them there. Lack of them would have had a serious impact on your recruitment.

I've talked to a member on greekchat more about the colonization and can honestly say that any misconceptions I had are out the window. I'm now looking forward to finding out more about this specific chapter and kind of excited too!
I did not have any recs. I didn't even know there was such a thing before rush and haven't heard of anyone on campus that did them (though I'm not sure that that is something that's public information?). I plan on getting a rec for the colonization of the new chapter in the fall from my cousin who is a sister of another chapter in the sorority. Hopefully it will be helpful this time around! |
