So, I go to a small midwest school. I rushed last winter but my sorority was shut down shortly after. I was never initiated. I felt very betrayed and hurt. I didn't know beforehand that the sorority was in any sort of trouble- neither panhel nor my school told any of us girls who were rushing. However, since I was never initiated I am allowed to rush in the fall. Here's the problem: my school is small and now only has a few sororities. I previously rushed all of them and am a legacy to one of them. I really, really, really would love to be in my legacy sorority. However, I am scared that I will be denied again. Last time I rushed, that sorority invited me back only once. I never even got to pref night for them and was heartbroken. Ever since my sorority got shut down, I have been thinking of rushing my legacy sorority. However, friends have been encouraging me to bring a new national sorority to my campus since we don't have many sororities. I have taken the initial steps for this, and can't do anything more until panhel votes on it (which they are supposed to do this fall). So, should I wait for panhel to vote and then hope I get chosen to colonize this new sorority? Or should I rush my dream legacy sorority and hope that I don't get turned down again? If I got turned down again I would be embarrassed and heartbroken, that's the only thing holding me back.
p.s. I now have a friend in the legacy sorority who said she really really wants me to be in it. However, I know that one person cannot sway an entire sorority to give me a bid.
Thank you for your time and help!

Let's say that you decide to proceed wth bringing a new sorority to your campus. That is something that takes years to accomplish. Even if you were to start now, you would not likely be initiated prior to graduation. It does not happen as quickly as you seem to think.
IF you want to have a sorority experience in college, then work on doing what you can to improve your chances with existing sororities. Great grades, campus activities, a making friends with sorority women are all ways to help increase your chances. Good luck!
