Oh, so much to say...
First, unfortunately, I think many of us who read "RKelly"s last thread probably were thinking the same thing that ZTA was, but we just didn't write it. OP's original post was incredibly rude, self-centered, and offensive to many of us. I tried to chalk it up to her being an insecure 19ish year old, but to come back AGAIN and post the same thing? Wow.
Sarah/RKelly/OP, I can't say I'm surprised that you were only asked back to one house, and frankly, I'm very curious to know which one it was. I certainly hope it was not mine. If I somehow could have found out exactly who you were, I would've sent this entire thread to my chapter's recruitment chair. The Greek System at Michigan is much smaller than you think. Of course girls in any sorority are going to encourage you to rush--they would never tell you not to. And do you really think any guy has any say in who gets chosen for a sorority? Seriously? I'm not giving away any secrets here, but I can tell you that girls are not chosen based on their cute outfits and the fact that some Phi Psi liked them at one point. Each sorority has stringent membership criteria and you clearly didn't meet it. For any of them. Maybe it's time for a little self reflection. Maybe it raised a red flag for them when you told them you were a sophomore living with juniors you didn't know--could you not find anyone in the dorms to live with after freshman year? Maybe you only seemed concerned about who you were going to pre-party with? Despite what you think you might know, there is more to Greek life at UM than that. Do you actually know any girls in Tri Delt, Kappa or Alpha Phi? Do you know which one has the Red Dress gala? Do you know which one has an Olympian? I'm guessing no.
There are something like 500 clubs at UM. Maybe you should think about what you're really interested in and go join one of them. Or focus on your school work. Or focus on making some friends.
I really hope you did drop. There are many young women who sign up for recruitment for the right reasons and deserve to be in one of the outstanding sororities at UM. It usually works out as it should.
