I can appreciate what happened but I must say that I think you made a mistake. This is one thing I hate about formal rush - you get so wrapped up in the process and the horse race that you lose sight of what the desired outcome is. You had a 2nd and 3rd choice so presumably at some point you saw them as viable options. This is where a couple days delay before preference parties may have softened your opinion and maybe made you more open to the options you had in front of you.

Keep in mind that not every girl has this weepy "I found Jesus" moment during preference. You assumed that since you didn't have that moment that you hadn't found a match. I would contend you just went in with the wrong attitude and didn't give them a fair shake.

I would spend the rest of this semester really looking at the sorority girls around you and deciding if you want a real sisterhood or if that one chapter is really the only viable option for you. Next fall, the most selective chapter on campus may well NOT be rushing. If you want to be in a sorority you may have to act like they aren't even there and focus on the other 4.
