I waited till the fall and being a sophomore I was very nervous. After the first round I had been cut from 5 of the 8 chapters. After the second day I had feel in love with one particular chapter. The third day came around and I had 2 chapters to go to. I had not felt a connection at either chapter so I dropped. I heard the college of raising it's numbers so a couple of sororities would be having informal. I was soo excited. I went to informal for the sorority that I was in love with. I made it all three nights and then I waited on a call for bid day. The call never came. I was upset because I wanted this so much. I e-mailed the president and told her how invinting the chapter was. She told me to go through fall recruitment as a junior because they do not look at age/year. During formal I only made it to the second night with them. I was just wanting to get your thoughts on this. There is about 400 girls that go through recruitment and 8 houses. Each chapter only gives bids for maybe 50 girls. I would love advice on this.
