For BlazerCheer-
I went though rush as a Junior at a mid-sized Texas university. I didn't know anyone in a sorority. In fact, I didn't know a soul at the entire school as I was a transfer student from out-of-state. At the time there were 7 sororities on campus and I made it through each round without being cut. It was up to me who to eliminate when the invitations were returned. I felt confident that I would be a sorority pledge by the end of rush. Well, when the invitations for Prefs came back I had only received one. It was
so discouraging. My self-confidence sunk to its lowest possible
level. How could this have happened? I went to my one Pref party. I really didn't "feel it" there but I signed my bid card anyway. The next morning there was a phone call from my rush counselor informing me that I had not received a bid. I found out soon after that XYZ had filled quota after their first Pref party so I probably didn't have a good chance especially as aJunior who didn't know anyone. It was hard to deal with the rejection and I never did join a sorority after that. But I did make other friends and became involved. You may decide to rush again but remember there are a lot of cute, smart, and good girls who are not in sororities too. You'll be fine! Gosh, you're a college cheerleader! That in itself is such an honor and accomplishment . I really think that you are going to find that all of this happened for a reason. Your cheerleading duties will probably be extremely demanding along with your classwork. And, don't forget there is always COB or you can try formal rush again next year! Go out there and have a great freshman year at VSU!!!
