Like MoxieGrrl, most of the girls I've seen go through multiple times are looking for one particular house - they've gotten bids elsewhere. But then, recruitment was not competitive at all on my campus! The number of girls who didn't get bids was so tiny - you had to work hard, like not bathe, not to get one. (Or you suicided a popular chapter, in which case they just COBed you next semester.)

Personally, I know if I hadn't gotten a bid, I would have said, "Screw 'em if they don't want me." I'm not saying that's the correct attitude; I think it speaks to a certain lack of patience on my part (if you can't join them, beat them). So I admire your tenacity; you aren't doing the sour grapes routine.

I should think other Greek women on your camps could give you the best advice. Are there any sisters you're personally close to? Because recruitment does differ so much from campus to campus. And being friends with the sisters is the best way to get a bid anywhere.

Just out of curiousity, did you look into any of the other orgs, like Prim Roses or OPhiA?

Edited to add: Was OPhiA on campus? I can't remember. Anyway, I looked at the pages for the Prim Roses and Sigma Chi Delta and was very impressed by them both. They out-NPC any NPC org on my campus!
