I did meet way fewer girls at the house I ended up in than the others. They did barely any bumping compared to the other houses so I ended up there on bid day only "knowing" maybe 3 people in the chapter. In the other chapter I preffed I knew more, but I took the risk with the house.
I did not expect everyone in the chapter to talk to me and I did not expect everything to be wonderful. But I did feel like the other girls in my pledge class "fit" with the sorority way more than myself.
I also had no clue that most people did not love their sororities the first semester because absolutely no one in my family has been in greek life and even though I tried to talk about it with my big about it and I was pretty much shut down. My spring semester some of my friends that joined at other schools mentioned it.
I don't need chapters falling all over themselves to recruit me if I go through next fall. I do feel like if I went through again I would be able to make more intelligent decisions on how I ranked rather than more emotional decisions like I did last time. I put too much emphasis on things that I shouldn't have.
As for repledging my old chapter, it's an idea that has crossed my mind. That's what my former big really wants me to do, but I feel like there's a large chance that they would cut me right away even though I didn't burn any bridges. If I was asked back I would go and give it a thorough second look though.
As for how I would mention this in recruitment is why I posted this. I don't know what the PC way of talking about it is.
