Does anyone have any advice on how to have a successful second time around recruitment?
A senior on my track team told me her story about how freshman year she didn't get a bid anywhere, but as a sophomore joined a colonizing sorority. We're going to have a colonizing sorority here my junior year (which sorority is still TBD.) I'm scared that if I wait until junior year to try and be a colony member, I will get rejected from that too.

Was XYZ the only chapter were you attended pref? Did you put any other chapter on your bid list? I think the most important thing to remember for anyone going through recruitment, but most importantly for someone going through a second time, is to keep an OPEN MIND! Do NOT think you are a shoe-in for any chapter and leave all of your options open. Realize that all of the chapters on campus have something to offer. Recruitment is an artificial environment. If you don't click with the group during recruitment and you get a bid to a group that may not be your favorite, don't despair! Give it some time and effort. If you put your heart into it, more than likely, you will find women who you respond to, values that resonate and experiences that will make your college life memorable.
