Re-Rushing Next Year

Hi,
I placed a bid on ABC but it wasn't a good fit there are only three npc's on campus and im alot older and a junior, my campus doesn't care if i rush as a senior. I regretted turning down XYZ. However, i am considering rushing again next year or trying to rush as an alum instead as the women would be more of my age and background, (im 24). I really did enjoy the experience i just felt that the chapter i joined wasnt the right fit for either of us and have subsequently de-pledged.

I would love some thoughts on this
Thanks

1. Holy Run-on sentences!

2. You cannot "rush as an alum".

3. Your campus can't care - it's not a person with feelings. And true, no one can stop you from rushing as a senior, but they also cannot guarantee that it won't be a big, fat waste of time.

Seriously? And you didn't even call shenanigans, or call the OP a troll. Kids these days.... SMH.

Holy crap, child. If you can't handle our comments and feel the need to report them, you're going to have a tough life ahead of you.

Wow, how do you tell if you've been reported?

Well, I don't for sure, but her Activity was "Reporting Post", and since she only had this post and her intro post, and this thread only had two responses...I guess she could have been reporting another random post, but I figured that wasn't likely.

I know it could be a waste of time, i was just wanting to know if it was better to become an Alum or go through as a collegiate. XYZ does offer this.

'

Even though this org may offer Alumna Initiation, it is no easy road to get there. It is much more difficult to join an organization via AI than as a collegiate for NPC groups. You are talking about NPC groups, right? Do you know the difference?
