Its not that I didn't like KAT. By the end of the week, I was so stressed out by the whole process, I just couldn't see myself pulling myself together for one more party. I basically freaked out and withdrew.
Yes, I would have had a bid from them, because if we only have one house to pref, we are guaranteed a bid.
I'm not going to rush again, because there literally is no point. Because of the stupid "cut once, always cut" rule, I am 100% ineligible to join any of the NPC groups on this campus. I understand that the chapters want to honor the original decision of the chapter, but I don't agree with the policy. I find it to be very snobbish in the sense that it says "well, something you did wasn't right at one point in time, so don't ever think you could be one of us." Keep in mind 8 of the houses last year cut me after Round I. It kinda sucks to know that roughly 800 girls made final judgements you, after 30 minutes of idle chat. I had high grades, I had recommendations, so the reason they cut me is still a mystery. I did all the "right" things.
I have explored the professional groups on campus, but none of them appealed to me the way the NPC groups did. There is something very special about the history of the groups here, and most other organizations don't really compare to it.
