Anyway, I did go through some of recruitment last year and dropped out because I didn't get any of the sororities that I was hoping for.
I probably shouldn't have attended recruitment at all because I had a horrendous cough, and at some points could barely speak to the girls, but for some reason I thought I could suppress this enough to go through with it.
I would like to think this is the reason for me not doing so hot in recruitment...but who knows.

I would really like to do well next year and I do believe I am in a good stage in my life to meet new people and make a great first impression.
But I was just wondering....How much of my "Recruitment Horror Story" of last year should I reveal to these new girls?
Should I even tell them I rushed? Should I say I dropped out because I was too sick?

They do ask on the registration if I have ever been through recruitment before so I suppose I would like to maintain some semblance of the truth.

Help me!
If you have to put on your application whether or not you went through recruitment before, put "Yes, at my prior school." You can put something about not finishing if you want. Although it wasn't because you had a cough that you didn't complete rush, it was because the sororities you wanted didn't give you invites and you didn't give each sorority a chance. I would strongly advise you to give EACH sorority a chance at your new school. Good luck.
