I'm confused...where do I go from here?
I'm a freshman, and I just finished my school's deferred rush process (freshman rush in Spring). I found a fraternity I really thought I fit in with, and I went to almost all of their events this week. I got to know and got along well with 15-20 of the brothers. I thought I had a good chance at a bid, but was denied today. At least a few of the brothers were pulling for me, if not more, and I don't remember pissing any of them off. But, I know at least two guys who spent less time there, and met less people, who got bids. I'm just confused, and I'm having a rough night seeing some of my friends start their first night of pledging.
I'm sure you get this situation a lot on this forum, but throw me a rope if you can. I just don't know where to go from here. I really want to join a fraternity, and this one seems like the perfect one. If I do sophomore rush, is it acceptable to rush the same one? Do fraternities ever deny someone and accept them on the second try? Is there any way to find out why I was denied so I can know if it's possible?
Anything you can say to help would be appreciated.
