I'll keep my options open, but I honestly want nothing more than to wash my hands of Pan-Hel for a couple hours and eat junk food. Lol.

Go ahead and ignore everything and eat junk food for a couple of hours... and once that's done, think about informal recruitment/COB/COR/whatever it's called this week! :D I'm sorry things have happened the way they have thus far, but I really do hope you'll consider it (since it sounds like you still want to be Greek). Good luck!!

I'm so sorry that it didn't work out the way you'd hoped. You seem like you have a great perspective on the situation, and I fully support the junk food idea :) I'm sending lots of love your way.

I'm so sorry, Symbal. Believe me, I know *exactly* how you feel. But rest assured that life does go on. Do whatever you need to do this weekend. Sulk, pout, hang out with your non-Greek friends and complain. But if you want to join a sorority...get right back into the swing of things Monday morning. You control your destiny. You seem (from this thread, anyway) to be an outstanding woman, and I'm sure that you'll find your perfect sorority home if that's what you choose for yourself. Good luck!

Stick around GC though. Letters aren't required to stay. :)

Thank goodness!! lol

i'm sorry things didn't work out! have a great rest of the semester!

((((((Symbal))))))

If your campus does COB and you are ready to jump back in, check it out.

You've got a great attitude and there were some events you missed because of conflicts which didn't give you or the chapters a chance to meet you and vice versa in the first rounds.

Good luck and please let us know how it is going.

Symbal, not sure if you're still considering COB, but I came across this ad on facebook for the sorority you liked..

september 27 & 28th 7-8:30 pm
at the house

I dont want to disclose any more details, I don't think anything would give it away but you never know! That's really all you need to know anyway. Good luck, I hope you still consider COB!

Thanks guys! I AM doing COB and I visited a house tonight, the house I never got to go to the first week due to class conflicts and got along there really well, but I havea feeling COB will be harder than Formal rush!! You get to know them a lot better, and that makes things a bit...complicated? You know?

Yay- it's great to hear you're keeping at it! Especially since you couldn't meet everyone during formal recruitment. I'm not sure how informal recruitment is at your school, but it was definitely an "easier" process at our school. We also didn't have issues with reaching total, though.

Anyway, good luck!!

I totally agree and hated COB. I fe.llt I knew kinda what to expect with formal after the first round, but with COB it was awkward, uncomfortable, and just weird although that was me...I hope yours is not like this and this thread has a happy ending!

Good luck with COB!:D

Symbal--

So glad to hear you are "back at it".

I hope your COB will be a less stressful time than your FR and you can concentrate on truly getting to know the members and vice versa.

GOOD LUCK!!

I kind of like it because it give me a better picture of what I'm 'getting into.' I know who they are a little more instead of the cookie-cutter visits. It would be the choosing part if I received more than one bid, you know? It's hard to choose.

I'm really hoping that you enjoy your experience. Fingers crossed.:)
