Lightbulb just had to say something...

I know some people think it's bad to tell PNM's that they'll end up where they were meant to be, but I think it's what they need to hear. I got cut from every single house last semester, and while I was at first disappointed, I realized that I wasn't ready at the time to be in a sorority. I had some more soul-searching (and studying!) to do. I'm rushing again, and if I get cut again from every group, I'll come to my senses and realize that maybe Greek life isn't the life for me.

I'm not insulting Greeks at all, but getting into sorority isn't the be-all end-all for enjoying my college experience--(just something that I hope will be rewarding for me). I would love to get a bid, but if I don't, I won't be bitter about it and I'll even stay friendly and cordial to all the sisters I met. There's no reason to hold grudges against them. I just wasn't meant to be in a sorority with them, that's all.

Even if a PNM gets a bid from a sorority she hated, she'll eventually realize it and either drop out or work her hardest to make that GLO her home. So it all does work out in the end even if you didn't see it in the beginning.

I might be missing the point here, but that's what I've learned from being a rush reject. I got cut for a reason, and that's OK.

When a door closes, a window opens.

That's the bottom line of this long-winded post.
