This year's Recruitment Counselor experience for me was a little sad...I had three rush crushes, one of which went my way. It's harder as a Recruitment counselor because we get to know them better than the sorority girls do...but that works both ways. My other two rush crushes, because I had gotten to know them, seemed like perfect fits to their chosen groups and I knew they were going to love it. My sadness lasted about five minutes...long enough to figure out who went where, think about it, and then end up smiling.
As an active my disappointment was even shorter. I had occasional rush crushes, but have every year been so happy with my new member class that it didn't bother me.
The only time I've been notably disappointed was as a PNM myself, because I had met and liked a particular group of girls when school first began. They all wanted one sorority, which happened to be the other one I chose for pref, but I knew where I belonged. It still made me a little sad, though, until I got the chance to bond with my pledge class.
