Last spring I rushed and received a bid to one of my school's top fraternities. I was having a great time in the fraternity: making friends with all of my pledge bros, partying, and getting advice from the older members. After about three weeks I was dropped because I had cheated on a test the day before. I had immediately apologized for cheating, but I did not explain that I did not have time to study as I had been visiting my sick brother in the hospital which caused a lot to be on my mind. After I was given the boot, one of my pledge bros who was the starting center at this D-1 school came and gave me a big hug and said it could have happened to anyone (because everyone was cheating but I was the first one caught). People were later caught cheating on tests but were not given the boot.

With that as my back story, do you think I should bother rushing this fraternity again? Again, any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
