So sorry you had a disappointing recruitment. Of course you feel hurt; everyone understands that you would; just don't let that start defining you.

My first thought was also GPA, but you cleared that up. It is possible your sophomore status worked against you. At a lot of schools, freshman really do stand the best chance of receiving bids. Sophomores and upperclassmen can and do receive bids at some of these schools, but usually if they have been involved on campus and gotten to know some sorority members. Being a transfer, it sounds like you did not have that going for you.

As stated, though, nobody can give you a for sure reason as to why this happened. As for being overweight and multiracial, I want to believe those were not the reasons. I have known, and do know, girls who are overweight and/or multiracial who have enjoyed sorority life. ANY organization that would not accept you for those reasons is probably not a group you would to be associated with anyway, right?

Every year, there are wonderful women who are released from recruitment. They don't know why exactly, but WILL tell you that life does go on and better days are ahead. Find other ways to get involved on campus, and if you're still interested in being in a sorority, contact the Greek Life office. See if COB events may be available and sign up.

Best wishes to you.
