I think this is the exception rather than the rule!!! A lot of girls my "glamorize" their recruitment after the fact and say "I always knew they were the one"- when in actuality this may not be the case. Personally I didn't have a clue! The house I ended up joining I never even expected to pref! The house went from one that I never thought about / never even entertained pledging to winning me completely over on pref night- all thanks to ONE sister whom I had never met prior to pref. Even then though, I was still not 100% sure they were "the one" when I ranked them as my number one. I just liked them "best".... I ended up in the PERFECT house for me... but I can not lie and say I felt 100% committed / in love with them while going through recruitment. .
Sorority life and "love of sisters" is not an instantaneous / magic moment. As others have pointed out, Rush is not real. You may not have that "aha moment" during rush.... you may not even have it for several weeks into pledging... like anything sororities and new friendships take time to build. HANG IN THERE... don't beat yourself up. It is not a failure that you didn't get your favorites back, it is a victory that the houses that invited you back wanted you back....
Best of Luck to you!!!
