Last year I rushed as a Freshman and I was on top of the world. I loved every second of rush and got exactly what i wanted until bid night. I got my second choice. Not a bad house but def not what I wanted. I did not accept the bid and only went into that house on bid night. There were some shady encounters in that house such as member asking me about my virginity and weather i smoked or drank ( this was right after bid night!!!)

I was beyond upset and counldnt understand why I didnt get into the house I really wanted. Many of the girls from that house reachecd out to me and I met up and talked with them They said they didnt know what happened it was a mistake etc etc.

I spoke to my greek advisor on campus and tried to get out of the bid to the house i got so that i cuold potentially rish in the winter. That did not work.

So here I am now. I feel that I want to rush again because being in a sorotity is something I really want to do. I moved on with my life i now live off camous with friends and got involved in other ways but being Greek is something i want to do! Is it really that easy to walk back in and just go through recruitmnet again? Im nervous of what people truly know about my situation or maybe they dont even care?

The Greek system at my school is not very large. There are only 8 houses and really if youre not Greek it dosent matter. I just need some advice!! I feel like I should jsut go for it because you only live once, but at the same time im nervous! Also it will be werid to have my friends and every i know who rushed last year rush me.

ANy advice would be appreciated
Just a note: I wouldn't go into recruitment thinking that you are guaranteed to get into your first choice or anything like that.

Not saying that this is what you're thinking, but I know alot of times, PNMs will re-rush thinking that their friends can "get them into" the chapter they originally wanted and that doesn't always happen.

It's important to be open-minded to the different chapters during formal because you never know which ones will/won't ask you back.
