Don't bring it up. I highly doubt they will.

If they ask, "Why didn't you rush in the fall," you can say that you did, but that you did not receive a bid and you are really interested in sorority life because [fill in the blank and change the subject]. There's no need to elaborate. Plenty of women re-rush through COB after not receiving a bid in the fall.

During formal recruitment, the sororities are fairly insulated. They are focused on what they are doing and who they are cutting. They have no idea who is cutting who each night or what girl is preffing where. They're only concerned with who they are inviting back.

Even the members within the chapter don't necessarily know every single girl who was cut or why from her own chapter. You don't meet every single sorority member when you're there during formal, so I really wouldn't worry about it. Recruitment records are destroyed after each recruitment, as well.

I think you did the right thing by not listing the other sorority on your final ranking. Keep in mind that you as a PNM don't "cut" sororities during recruitment; rather, you rank them according to your preference. The sororities do cut PNM's, and then their lists are matched up against your preferences. This is why you were invited back to a sorority you consistently ranked low. You as a PNM do not have the ability to release a sorority from your recruitment and you must attend the maximum number of parties to which you are invited. The only time you're allowed to truly cut a sorority is during your final ranking; if you can't see yourself as a member of a chapter where you preffed, you shouldn't list it. You did exactly the right thing.

Good luck.
