we have 6 chapters and three rounds of formal recruitment, and after the first round I was cut from four groups. two of them I know it was grades, well.... one of those might have been the fact that the first thing I said to the girl who was rushing me was "i think i just started my period, do you have a tampon?" but they also didn't invite anyone back with lower than about a 3.2.
in the other two groups I was paired with another PNM who in the first chapter room (five of the sororities have chapter rooms in a dorm here) we went to was really good friends with the girl who was rushing us, so I was barely spoken to. And then in our second party we were together with another pair of PNMs and four rushers, and they all paid attention to her, and the rest of us were ignored (we all three were not invited back to that group).
anyway, after the second day, philanthropy day, I was cut from A-Phi, and I think it was because I was talking about being an A-Phi legacy to all the girls I talked to. I wasn't bragging, but every single girl asked me why I was going through rush at every single chapter and party, and everytime I said "oh it's really important to my grandmother that I go through rush, and I'd really like to do something if it's so important to her" because that's why I first started to rush, then I really really got excited about joining a group. then of course they would ask if she was in a sorority, and which one, etc.
well... I never told my grandmother if I was for sure going through rush or not, so she never filled out a legacy notice form/letter thing to turn into the A-Phi chapter here, so I think they might have thought I was pretending to be a legacy to look cool or something. I think they were also not having fun when my grandmother called them on pref and got really upset, demanding to know why her granddaughter had been cut, and why she hadn't been notified first.
i was mortified when I found that out, but oh well. I had a lot of fun and connections from day one at the ADPi house, so no big deal.
