not your typical rush story :)

[JuicyPrincess09]

hey everyone!
i've been reading greekchat for a while and have gotten lots of great advice and tips. i just finished going through rush at my school and would like to share my story with the hope that it will provide some sort of inspiration for someone out there! i'm going to be completely honest about my opinions and stuff!

before i get started, here's some background:
i went through rush last year as a freshman at my school. i went in already being in LOVE with one sorority and certain that was where i would end up. i made it all the way to the 3rd round, right before pref night, and was cut. i was devasted. how could the sorority i was destined to be in cut me?? i watched as all the new members fell in love with their sororities and got to do fun sisterhood things. i was so sad and angry at the same time.

fast-forward a few weeks...one of my friends tells me about a sorority that is doing COB. since this sorority was in my top 5 during rush, i decided that i should give it a try. i still really wanted to be apart of a sorority. so i went to the COB events, confident and hoping for the best, and sadly i was cut again.

once again, i was devastated and confused. what was wrong with me? i thought i was an attractive, well-rounded, fun person! why weren't the sororities seeing that?
i spent the rest of my year getting involved in other stuff on campus and making new friends. i met amazing people and had so much fun. however, i still could not shake the feeling that greek life was something i really wanted to be apart of.

so, i decided that i was going to try one last time and go through formal recruitment again as a sophomore. my gpa was great, i was involved, and i was prepared for whatever happened. even if i didn't make it, i still had great friends and so much to look forward to. this time around, i was going in with a whole new attitude and would honestly be fine either way.
