Re-Rushing Next Year
 
Hi,
I placed a bid on ABC but it wasn't a good fit there are only three npc's on campus and im alot older and a junior, my campus doesn't care if i rush as a senior. I regretted turning down XYZ. However, i am considering rushing again next year or trying to rush as an alum instead as the women would be more of my age and background, (im 24). I really did enjoy the experience i just felt that the chapter i joined wasnt the right fit for either of us and have subsequently de-pledged.

I would love some thoughts on this
Thanks

1. Holy Run-on sentences!

2. You cannot "rush as an alum".

3. Your campus can't care - it's not a person with feelings. And true, no one can stop you from rushing as a senior, but they also cannot guarantee that it won't be a big, fat waste of time.

It was an auction item?

Holy crap, child. If you can't handle our comments and feel the need to report them, you're going to have a tough life ahead of you.

You got reported for this? Oh my. Somebody needs to grow a thicker skin.

Seriously? And you didn't even call shenanigans, or call the OP a troll. Kids these days.... SMH.

I know, right? Y'all know I could have laid it on MUUUUUCH thicker than that, bless her heart.

I know it could be a waste of time, i was just wanting to know if it was better to become an Alum or go through as a collegiate. XYZ does offer this.

'

Even though this org may offer Alumna Initiation, it is no easy road to get there. It is much more difficult to join an organization via AI than as a collegiate for NPC groups. You are talking about NPC groups, right? Do you know the difference?

Ok, Thanks. I guess i can spend this year just getting to know people.

Just because XYZ does offer you to do AI (I'm assuming its NPC) doesn't mean that they will accept you. Also being an Alum is very different then being an active collegiate member.

Wow, how do you tell if you've been reported?

violetpretty 10-27-2011 08:47 PM

Some questions for you:

By "place a bid on ABC" do you mean you got a bid from them and YOU didn't think they were a fit for you or do you mean you ranked them on your pref card and they didn't give you a bid?

As for "turning down XYZ", do you mean you received a bid from them or you didn't put them on your pref card?

What are your expectations for membership if you join as a collegian? What about joining as an alumna?
