julie,
i am a little worried for you! first of all, (and this is no offense to your friends), but they never should have told you what happened during membership selection. the part about needing a 3.2 is ok, but the rest pretty much scares me.
when i was a sophomore, a friend of mine who was a year older went through cob for our chapter. she had probably about 6 or 7 very good friends in our chapter (which is pretty good since our chapter was about 20 something women), but did not get a bid. the following fall, she went through rush and was not extended a bid again. now, i KNOW why this happened, but never in a million years would i (or any of her other friends) tell her why. after she found out she didn't get a bid, we apologized and told her that we were sorry it didn't work out, but that we were still her friends and still cared about her. i know it is hard to want someone in your glo and for whatever reason, it doesn't happen.
please keep dg in mind. i know that it may not be your first choice right now, but open your mind to them because you don't know what you will find. i also caution you about dropping out to pursue cob with another org because the fact that someone told you to do that is a rush infraction. i really don't know if this group will have space available after recruitment and if your gpa is lower than what they are looking for, then that would probably still be a factor in cob. you don't want to miss an opportunity with dg.
