I'm not sure if other houses are doing fall rush since this one will be recognizing, but I've done a bit of research and most of the houses I like don't do fall rush. It's been rare that one that I liked did.

In spite of the drama of your illness (which I am sorry for and hope you are feeling better!), this is what it all boils down to. You really aren't different from the other unsuccessful pnms who come here to discuss their failed recruitment. You went into recruitment concerned with stereotypes and reputations and you continue to be too concerned with with them. A colony is not a way to "avoid" a stereotype nor a consolation prize for a failed recruitment. It's a very different situation and a lot of work, so it's something you need to think a lot about before joining.
You're at a very competitive school and sophomore re-rushing is even more difficult. So if you decide to do that, you need to be prepared for a similar result. Be honest with yourself and know whether or not you can handle it.
Lastly, did you have recommendations? You need them there. Lack of them would have had a serious impact on your recruitment.
