kate, with most sororities(maybe all, but i don't know for sure) pnms who attend a pref. party are placed somewhere on their bid list. If you did not receive a bid from your top choice, it is because you did not appear on their list before they had matched to quota. You received a bid to your 2nd choice because panhellenic tries to match everyone with a bid, and you were high enough on the 2nd choice's list. they wanted you.

it's too bad that you didn't give it a trial run last fall. you might have found you were in the right place all along. have you remained friends with the girls you knew in the sorority that bid you?

you can go thru recruitment again. it is never easy for sophomores rushing at uf, but if you don't try the situation won't change. it will be awkward for you and the results may not end up as you wish, but if you don't try, you'll always wonder.
