And no, the rumor wasn't that bad (it had to do with alcohol) and it would have even been true if it were about several of the other PNMs as opposed to myself. I just have a hard time believing that was the reason and even if it was I doubt it was the same reason for all of them. The person who actually told me that was a girl from the sorority that didn't cut me.
I have worked on clearing my name but no girls that I have talked to even knew about that besides the one who told me so I guess I should stop worrying about it. I'll just start over except this time I'll be a little more prepared  |
In this case it sounds like your last recruitment probably will not effect your next one. But...
-Still make an effort to make friends with as many sorority women as you can, from every sorority. You don't want to come off as desperate, obviously, but talking to the ones that are in your classes or your dorm hall is a good start. Try to start a study group for exams. Just be friendly and be outgoing so they'll remember you in the fall.
-Don't bring up the rumor any more, because if most of them don't remember it, you don't need to clear your name.
-Be open minded. Really consider every sorority. And make sure you won't be devastated if it doesn't go well. You really probably won't ever know why you were dropped from a sorority and a lot of times it isn't personal, so just remember that. Good luck and have fun!
