I am at USC and I did not have letters of recommendation the first time I rushed. I really do want to be in the greek system, but I feel like the sorority I ended up in is not for me. I do understand it will be hard to even get a bid next year, but I know one person who did it (granted 1 in however many girls there were is not a lot) , but I'm just hoping for some sort of luck I guess. How do sororities decide who they want to invite back? Is there anything I can do to increase my chances of getting a bid from another sorority the second time around?

I'm going to be a little honest right now. This is USC we're talking about. The girls are stellar, beautiful, accomplished, the whole 9 yards. You have VERY slim chances. Rushing to join ONE house is just not practical because do you REALLY think that this house is going to pass up on a freshman member for a girl who depledged another chapter? You say you still want to be Greek, well if you go through again, you have a BIG chance of getting cut, and not being Greek AT ALL then. I don't care how many recs you have. Girls in sororities KNOW who pledged where and they WILL ask things "Like didn't you get a bid last year?" There isn't a whole lot you can do to increase your chances if you choose to go through again. But of course I can't tell you what to do. I still stand by my original advice. Best of luck.
