It just so happened that even though I dropped them every night, I kept going back, even to their preference night. I know that I would not have even grown to like that sorority so I did not rank it on my preference and instead only ranked the other one I preffed, thinking that I actually would get into that one anyways, but of course on bid day I got the call that I didn't get a bid.
Well now I'm "rushing" this spring but technically it isn't recruitment because one sorority doesn't have room for more girls (of course that was my number one last semester-not the one that I put on my preference though). So this semester they are just doing COB events and I'm going to events for the three that I like.
My question is what should I tell the sororities? Do I tell them that I rushed and didn't like where I was ending up in the end, which is true but double sided because I was willing to join the other one i preffed and to the other two it shows that they didn't invite me back already. Basically I want to have the best chance at getting into a sorority and I'd be happy at all three that I'm rushing but I just don't know what to tell them and would like sorority members to help me out with what you think from your side!

1. I'm sure that people will remember you from the fall, and sometimes registration forms ask if you've rushed before.
2. I think that it would be really rude to say "I hated the group I had left" - there is really no polite way to say this, even the oft-attempted PC phrase "I didn't feel like a fit." Unless asked, I wouldn't personally offer up any explanation for your choices. They are your choices and may not make sense to other people.
3. Regarding the second statement I emphasized, you had a chance at getting into
a sorority last fall, you threw it away.
But good luck. If you keep an open mind, you just might have a second chance at
a sorority.
