What to tell a girl who didn't get a bid
It's the end of recruitment here and there are a few girls who wanted to join the sorority I'm in but are not going to be getting a bid. One in particular i know is very upset about this. My chapter has a little booklet about the sorority and how to join. I want to make a little insert that goes along with the booklet that's titled "If you didn't receive a bid" and nicely put the different reasons a girl doesn't get a bid. this is what i have so far:
"First of all, don’t be discouraged from sororities in general or from continuing to be friends with the members of the sorority. There are many reasons a sorority does not give out a bid. Perhaps not all of the members got the chance to know you, or felt as if your true self did not get the chance to shine through during recruitment. Many times a sorority elects to only take a specific amount of New Members a semester and has to make a hard decision. In these cases a girl should defiantly try again by coming to continuous open bidding events she is invited to and participating in recruitment the following semester. Sometimes, however, many members do not feel a perspective fits in well with the sorority and feels she would thrive in another sorority on campus."
Is there anything else i should add or any rewording to make it sound nicer so this girl doesn't go on a killing spree?
