I was just reading recruitment stories and thinking about my own, so I thought I'd post a reflection on the experience 2 and a half years later!

When I didn't get any invites to pref night, I was crushed! Mainly because I think I'm awesome (tee hee!) and didn't understand why people didn't want me as a sister. I now realize there was much more in it then them just "not wanting me". But regardless, I am so much happier since I was NOT placed in a sorority from recruitment.

When I was dropped, I spent about a month hanging out with 2 people and being kinda sad. But then I decided that was crazy and I needed to meet more people, so then I emailed everyone until I found a way to join the Wildcat Marching Band late!

From joining band, I learned about SAI(Women's Music Fraternity, for which I am president-elect for next year!), my major Arts Administration, which I never would have learned about, KKPsi (Honorary Band Fraternity, for which I am currently Treasurer), met ALL of my friends and my boyfriend through these various activities and found out about my SECOND major!

I can honestly say going through recruitment and getting dropped was the best thing to happen to me. I hope people who are on the fence about going through go for it! For most people, my scenario is basically "worst case" and it turned out to be wonderful!
