So I was a little disappointed, but hey there are a bunch of other great options still available (I hope!)

Hmmm. Isn't that special. Well, at least you know it isn't your grades, your personality, your ethnic or religious heritage, your morals, your activities, your finances, your attention to your appearance, your family's social standing, your ability to talk appropriately at rush parties, or whether you would fit in with the chapter and be a loyal, contributing sister! Sounds like checking out other options is a good idea -- gotta be something better out there!
On a related topic -- I've gathered that it's a Rush Infraction / Green Book No-No for a member to promise an invitation to a party or to promise a bid. Evidently it's okay to tell someone they will get the boot as soon as humanly possible. Right?
Of course I'm curious about what would be a "big name" chapter at Michigan. Thinking here about mottoes and songs and such: "perpetual bond of freshmen"? no . .. it's "friendship." "Freshmen hand in hand"? no -- it's "union." "I am so happy that I am a freshman"? no, no. "One heart, one bunch of freshmen"? no -- "one way." Aw, I give up.
