I just felt so unprepared and scared for the whole thing, which is why I decided not to accept a bid. Later on, I really regretted my decision and could have kicked myself for not accepting a bid.
Anyhow, I didn't participate in fall rush because I was away on an internship that I had already accepted before spring rush. So, here we are now with spring rush approaching and I am planning on going through recruitment again!
I just wanted to get some advice or anyones input on going through this process again. I feel quite awkward about the whole situation, but I really want to participate in greek life at my school and I feel ready for it. Will I be completely blacklisted because I went through rush once before and didn't accept a bid? Spring rush is way less formal and intensive than fall so i'm not sure if that factors in to anything. Should I bring up that I rushed before? If it gets brought up to me, would an explanation like I offered above suffice? AHH! Sorry about all the questions I just have a ton of worries :/
Thanks ladies!

We can't tell you whether a chapter would cut you because you rushed before. They might, they might not. Every chapter is different.

If spring is a smaller environment with fewer PNMs, there's a good chance that girls may remember you from last year. If asked, be honest but don't dwell on the fact that you rushed before.
