thanks so much for y'alls input! i'm sorry i haven't been able to get back on here sooner to thank y'all, but just knowing that someone cares enough to respond to my message makes me feel really good.
i'm still tossing the idea around about doing fall rush (pardon my un-PC terms, i grew up hearing "rush" and "rushee"). i just don't want to be hurt so badly again, because i never dreamed that i wouldn't get a bid. i hear rushing as a sophomore is even more difficult, so this makes me worry even more.
LSU's Office of Greek Affairs has NOT been terribly nice or helpful. whenever i call them, they're very short with me and i hardly get any info from them. i'm beginning to feel as though i'm going to have to physically go to their office and sit on whoever's desk until they'll talk to me and just maybe give me some basic info about COB or spring rush works here.
i missed the greek table on club sign up day. everyone told me "there's 300 something organizations at LSU, you'll find one for you" and most of the clubs are ethnic organizations (not hating here, just saying), clubs for incredibly athletic people (ha, not me) or clubs for watching anime or building rocketships (exaggerating about the rockets, i just couldn't find anything that really appealed to me). i walked around for about 10 minutes and went back to the dorm in tears because i felt like i would never belong. (this is becoming quite a wordy post, but i felt like i was always that girl who was always the one left out in high school and thought that college would be totally different from that)
i really didn't mean for this to turn into a "woe is me" thing, but i still feel so angry and upset about it because i know i belong somewhere on the row and because i didn't end up where i was meant to be, which ended up being incredibly hurt and sad.
in short, i still feel as though i belong in a sorority if some group would just give me a chance (ok, so i did get a chance, but there were 989 girls to choose from!).
once again, thanks for the input, and hopefully some more LSU sorority members will see this and maybe offer me some more advice.
