Here's an ending I prefer, but the writer would NEVER post:
She dropped out of rush and spent the next week being a huge bitch to everyone. But as her friends went about their lives in their mediocre sororities, she realized she was really missing out. She noticed the Fuglies around campus and found herself more and more saying to herself that they weren't so bad after all. She decided to suck it up and contact the rush chairman of the Fuglies. It turns out the Fuglies had had a fantastic rush, and while they were still doing come COB to get themselves up to total, no they were not interested in offering her a bid.
By the time the next semester has come along and she got good but not outstanding grades and joined some clubs but found herself NEVER getting elected into leadership positions, she became less full of herself, and a little more in tune with whether people liked her or not. She decided to informal rush and asked her mother's friends in as many sororities as she could find to please write a recommendation for her. She really wanted to join a sorority and she really appreciated their support.
Going into rush with a new attitude, it turned out she really liked the Awkwards, and there was a sorority she didn't even remember during fall rush, the Whos? They were a middle chapter on campus, but they were really sweet girl and they talked a lot about leadership and she thought she could really make a splash in this chapter if she worked at it. She knew they had made quota in the fall and were only short of total by a few, so she was really worried they wouldn't pledge her.
(Now, we have 2 ways to go, so here's ending #1)
During rush parties the Awkwards and the Whos had, she really laid it out on the line. She said she had really enjoyed herself during informal and she was really looking forward to joining a sisterhood. Unfortunately, the members asked around to their friends in other chapters, and decided that no way in hell were they going to give this beyotch a chance. She spent the rest of school bitter and surrounded only by the kind of mousy girls who think bitchy=strong=popular and a boyfriend who had no life except to please her, even when it meant being completely emasculated in public. 2 weeks before graduation he dumped her and started dating the president of the Fuglies, now the hottest sorority on campus.
(#2)During rush parties the Awkwards and the Whos had, she really laid it out on the line. She said she had really enjoyed herself during informal and she was really looking forward to joining a sisterhood. The sisters of both sororities knew how she had been during formal rush, but the Whos decided to take a chance on her. It seemed like she'd really come around and it was a risk, but they thought she could become a valuable member with some training. Over the rest of her college career she became a nice girl (I've actually seen this happen). She never made it to president, but she held a variety of leadership roles in the chapter. They were still a mid-level chapter, but she had to admit she couldn't imagine herself anywhere else. She had gotten to know some of the Awesomes over time, and seriously, who did they think they were?
