I went thru rush 3 times, and the first 2 times, I was crushed. I was asking "What the hell is wrong with me??", when really, it was just not meant to be at the time. I was persistant and kept trying. It hurt like hell when XYZ turned me down the first time. I backed away from all my friends because I felt like scum. Now, if only someone had TOLD me that this happens, especially at informal rush, I would not have felt so bad. I had no clue about rushing. I thought everyone got in, and how could they not love me?!LOL So what am I saying? I handled it and moved on and up. It gave me a tough skin and gave me the attitude that came shining thru finally, the self confidence. I was a weak pansy and needed the rejection to get a spine. So, personally, I would not have used this sort of counseling you are proposing. I would have felt talked down to and humiliated. Now, is this how other women may handle it? No, but I am glad I used the experience of falling to teach myself that I can pick my self up!
