I wanted to spring rush, but I wanted to be able to get to know all the houses because only like 4 houses were spring rushing, so I missed out on that chance. I wanted to do formal rush this year, but AXiD was colonizing this semester and thought it would've been perfect for me because I am now a junior (senior in hours) and they were looking to colonize girls of all ages! This meant I could not do formal rush and I took that risk and rushed AXiD the week after formal rush. Unfortunately, PNMs were not allowed to be in any organization and I was disqualified after pref night because I was in a law organization

If everything goes well and my degree plan doesn't change, I have the opportunity to graduate early this May. However, I do feel like I missed out on a great opportunity of sisterhood and college experience! I have Greek friends that keep telling me I should rush and that I would be a perfect member, but I'm still unsure if I will get a bid or not this spring because of my classification. I have a good gpa, am well rounded, and have a genuine interest in becoming part of something so great! I heard you can't just open rush a sorority either, so you just have to wait for spring I know this is an awkward situation so anyone have any advice on this? 🙈 if there is any I know I'm a lost hope lol

That sounds very strange as sororities encourage women to be part of other orgs.

This is going to sound weird but when I hear these kinds of things, I always wonder if it's just the blanket answer given to avoid disclosing the actual reasons people didn't get bids (as that is private info.)

Or what PNMs are theorizing because they don't want to entertain the fact that they just weren't selected. They WANT there to be some sort of external factor rather than "well they just weren't interested."

Either way, I am sorry you didn't get a bid.
