see, im a second year student at southern illinois university. i tryed rushing in fall 02 and fall 03, and was rejected the night of bids. i felt so unwanted. i just dont know what i did wrong. i didnt insult any sister. i didnt talk about anything gross or sad or polital. i dressed in nice simi-casual skirts, and showd no cleaviage. i dont know what i did wrong. the sororitys here are alpha gamma delta, tri-sigma, delta zeta, and sigma kappa. how can i show these girls the real me? should i even try again? Any tips? 
 
thanks for your time

 Firstly I know 90% of the people on here will call me a bitch, but your speech and writing is also something sororities look at when considering members.  Please, please use spell-check!!
It seems like you are talking more about the things you DIDN'T do rather than the things you DID do.  You have to stand out in some way at rush...sororities will not give you a bid if you simply follow the social graces and try not to offend anyone.   Try working on your conversational skills, if you feel that is an area where you might be lacking.
Of course none of us can say exactly why you weren't given a bid.  If you want to try again that is up to you...as Danielle said, try to get to know some of the girls outside of rush and keep your eye out for any signs or fliers advertising open bid parties.
