Hello! I've been through rush once at my school, but had to drop out the 2nd day or Philanthropy Day because the houses that invited me back were the most expensive houses and my family and I couldn't afford for me to be in them at that time.
I was pretty broken up about it because it was something I had really wanted to join. After, I made friends during my freshman year who were Greek and it helped me realize that I wanted to go through a second time. So, I took a job during my first year of school and have been working all during this summer to make Greek Life feasible for me this upcoming Fall.
I know that for some girls there is a certain stigma with dropping out of recruitment because you may be viewed as one of those girls that quote "didn't get the best house" or "didn't get your legacy house", so dropped instead of finishing the process. But, I do feel that my reason was a legit one that I couldn't control. But, after working hard to earn money to pay for Greek Life for myself and getting recs and signing up to re-rush I'm pretty excited about my chances!
Hope this helps.
