Unfortunately, I know some girls who dropped out of IU because they did not receive bids to sororities. They did, however, go to other schools, and thrived. To a girl, they all look back on it now and realize that at age 18/19, not getting a bid at such a competitive school seemed like the biggest deal in the world when other friends of ours did and it was devastating at the time. Many of them joined sororities at their new schools--some didn't--and loved the experience. It's unfortunate that you had such a bad experience, and clearly others do too. But IU is a great school and there are clearly plenty of girls that don't get bids, and they seem graduate and go on with their lives ok. Greek life is wonderful, but it's not the end all, be all.
