First thing to do: relax, take a deep breath, and congratulate yourself on making it this far through what can be a really long and taxing process!

Second thing to do: don't second-guess why you weren't invited back to certain houses. If they cut you, then they certainly don't deserve your time and energy now! Focus on the houses you have left, so you can make your decisions with a clear mind.

Third thing to do: DON'T DROP OUT! You still have a chapter that you like, and you shouldn't throw that one away because of the houses that you don't like. Focus on the house that you like, and be the very best guest you can when you are there. Let them know how much you have enjoyed meeting them, and how interested you are in their sisterhood.

I know that a lot of people will tell you that you can always rush again, or go through COB (open rush). But, a lot of people will also tell you that it gets progressively harder and harder. Read through some of the other posts on this Board from girls who have rushed repeatedly for an idea of what you might be facing if you drop out now.

Also, I know that your Rho Chis will tell you NOT to suicide. But, if you think there is really only one house where you could be happy, then it might be a logical choice. You should ask your Rho Chi if it will HURT you if you suicide (at some schools you can be penalized).

Just be sure to think it all through calmly, and don't make any rash decisions. If you need to, go take a walk to some quiet place and think about it.

Best of luck! Follow your heart!
