As NittanyAlum said, it is "hard" when you have a large number of sororities and have to attend something like 45 parties in 2 weeks.
It's also hard (on both sides) because things happen that are random - great girls get cut because they just missed GPA, or only a certain number of juniors can be bid, or they have a similar name to someone else who is rushing or who knows why. On the sorority side, great girls don't choose us because someone in their rush group knew someone whose brother's girlfriend thought she was snubbed by an ABC, or their roommate has "never heard of" ABC, or their sister at another school told her that the ABC's at her campus are losers/sluts/rude.
Taking a long-term view, your positive attitude is spot-on. It is GREAT practice for the "real world" which is made up of interviews : for jobs, volunteer positions, co-ops, tennis and country clubs, blind-date situations, hiring your next assistant, finding the right LPN to take care of your ailing Mom during the day, the right day care provider for your kid, the next pastor for your church, etc etc etc. Really helps you learn to talk to people you might not otherwise choose to talk to - people you're stuck sitting next to at weddings, neighborhood parties, church committees, you name it. My S.O. says I can talk to anyone, and I give a lot of credit to the hundreds of rush parties I've had to go to over my 3 years of sorority life.
