I have a few friends who made this mistake freshmen year and didn't end up in a sorority and really regretted it.
I'll agree with everything except this. It all depends on degrees of "least favorite" and also the size of the chapters and school.

At smaller schools, often the personalities of the chapters really are SO different that there are rushees who only feel comfortable with one group and would be miserable in any other. These are usually also the schools where you truly can rush again and get a better result than your first time.

There is also a difference between "disliking" a chapter and outright HATING every minute of time you spend there. If you vehemently detest a chapter to the latter degree, don't put them on your bid card. If you don't want to suicide, put on some groups that dropped you earlier in the week.
