The school I transferred from had a similar situation with one chapter that it was "not appropriate" to join. My roommate went through rush and when she only got invited to their pref, she dropped. Then they called to snap bid her and she declined. I felt really bad (I was not in rush...waited until I transferred) because I knew some girls from that particular sorority and they were very sweet and soooooo loved their chapter and wanted to be good (they have a good national), but they KNEW that they were only going to get a few girls and that those would likely drop out of embarassment. It sucks that those sort of things happen to chapters that have totally quality girls, but just low numbers and maybe a "nerdy" or other stereotype. That chapter ended up closing and the sisters were crushed...they fought so hard for what hey loved. I so respected those girls who tried with all their might!
My chapter is extremely strong and I can't even imagine what it would be like to only see a small group of unexcited girls running over to you after you have worked SOOOOOOO hard during rush.
I visited the SK website for the UF chapter and they looked cute and fun. They look totally normal! I hope that what you saw is inaccurate and that they were successful. And if any of the girls from GC ended up at one of their alternate choices for bid day, I hope they will give it a shot.
Please ladies, wherever you ended up, even if you didn't accept a bid, let us know. We are here for you. Lots of us have been Rho Chi's before, and we have dealt with lots of stuff. That's it, we are online Rho Chi's! Maybe some of us past PX should start a recruitment counseling thread and be cyber-rho-chi's?????
