Maybe this is a function of deferred recruitment, but I feel like sometimes for me in college the hurt lasted a few weeks after recruitment. Because I felt like I really, really knew these girls because I'd been hanging out with them for an entire semester and then you pref them and then it's like... they reject you. And a lot of times at my school when a rush crush pledged another group, it really was the end of the friendship, or at least the friendship changed. Yeah, yeah, you can be friends with anyone in any sorority, blah, blah, blah, but it's just never the same again.
I was lucky that my number one rush crush of all time (who was also a legacy) didn't go to my house on pref night so I was spared the agony of seeing her come to pref night and then not pledge Pi Phi.
