I don't know where you rushed, but it seems the really early rushes are among the most competitive out there, with the strongest systems top to bottom. And from what you've said, I think your problem is not with your sorority (yes, they are yours now), but with the stress and anxiety of the process. Don't deny yourself all of the opportunity you have ahead of you just because you didn't have the ideal rush.

Girls do rerush and have successful outcomes the second time around, but it's a pretty big risk when you have a house now who does want you and you don't seem to be THAT opposed to.

We haven't had this discussion yet this year, but it is VERY common for girls to feel a big sense of letdown after rush, the girls who had the perfect rush as well as the girls who had 1 or 2 chapters from round two up to preference. It gets so overblown in your mind since it has been 100% of your life for the last week, that your expectations for awesomeness are just not met. If rush went exactly how you dreamed, you might not be any happier right now. My advice: stick it out, but do it enthusiastically. If you are negative, don't show up, don't make an effort, etc., it's never going to get better.
