I think most folks here feel that PNMs don't usually get cut for not having recs if the group wanted you otherwise, especially if you were released early in the process.
I have no idea when or why you got cut; I don't know you in real life, and I'm not trying to put you down. If you want to be Greek, then you will have to either go through formal again next fall and/or COB, so you don't really have any other options.
But I don't want you to get your feelings hurt and be surprised if the second time through formal isn't even harder than the first, and in the linked post, you mention that your first rush wasn't successful by your standards. Be prepared and be realistic so you don't put to much of yourself into a situation that you can't really control.

I do know that re-rushing is often times harder than the first time-- and thats part of what worries me, I was extremely bummed when the first rush didnt go how I dreamed it would in a billion years.. I do know that at my school many people rush as sophs. even juniors and seniors get bids, so it gives me hope to a point.
I've spent the last months since then tearing myself apart because of it, things like whats wrong with me, what did i do wrong etc. and It almost scares me that if I face the same rejection or even possibly worse rejection next year. But it's one of those things, If I dont try again I know I will regret it.
Thats also part of the reason I've asked so many questions on this thread and others, becuase I don't want to do anything to "hurt" myself, seeing as how I'm kind of like "damaged goods" because of the whole de-pledging thing.
Thanks to everyone who's given feedback- positive and negitive, thats why I came here, to get the truth from people who will be real about it.
thanks!
