Spring Rush?

Confusionn · #1 10-17-2010, 02:24 AM

Hello everyone!
I'm currently a sophomore, short of three credit hours of being a junior. Fall of '09, I went through formal recruitment and got cut from 2 out of 3 sororities. It was perfectly fine with me because I really liked the last sorority. I was then cut from the last sorority because of something I accidentally said (nothing vulgar, or anything like that), it was just miscommunication. I was invited back to the sorority for an informal spring recruitment, but was cut as well as two other girls who were in my class (sophomore-junior). Only five girls went through formal recruitment, and the other two that got accepted were Freshman. I didn't go through formal recruitment this year because I honestly thought I wasn't going to get in. Formal recruitment has already been done, but now I'm having doubts and would like to try again if there happens to be another Spring recruitment. Thoughts?

If you were cut for accidentally saying something (which you will never know that for sure, because MS is private information), why would they invite you back the second time around?

As for rushing again, we can't tell you what to do. The question is, if you don't, will you regret it?

Well, is your GPA better than the 2.26 that it was?

Did you not get the answer that you wanted from us in your last thread???

I just copied my response from the other thread.

I don't think it was a question of thinking she was "too good" for the other 2 groups as they were the ones that cut her right off the bat anyway. That's honestly not always why someone wants one group over the other, especially at a school with only three groups. If it's that small of a system and you're an upperclassman, you would be kind of an idiot to NOT know which one you want going in. (However, that doesn't mean you should broadcast your preference.)

"Medical program" covers a myriad of things. She's not necessarily trying to be a brain surgeon.

Confusionn - it was a major faux pas to say "I know which sorority I want to be in." They cut you because they thought you meant someone else. They found out you meant them and decided to give you another chance. For whatever reason - could have been your grades, could have been something else - you didn't receive a bid. (p.s.: The fact that they had 3 girls drop that quickly after rush really isn't a good sign IMO - especially at such a small school.)

Your sorority ship has sailed. The system at your school is really too small to get out of this fix. Concentrate on doing well in school and find another extracurricular or two that you enjoy.

Yes, it was miscommunication because a friend of mine in the sorority told me it was. She knew that I wanted to be in the sorority that she was in, and didn't understand why the girls I talked to at the party thought I didn't want to be in their sorority. Yes, I know that my friend shouldn't have told me because it was private information, but she felt the need to.

Yes, my GPA is significantly better this semester. Also, when I said MEDICAL PROGRAM, I meant a radiology program. To get into the radiology program, you need a 2.5 GPA.

No, the responses didn't offer me much advice the last time I posted a thread because people started arguing.

An off-topic thread fight? NEVER!

Even if one of us was right there, we probably couldn't give you the answers you seek. You're just going to have to try and hope for the best, but accept it may not work out for you this time either. Good luck!

And now they know and they still didn't give you a bid. Again, that ship has sailed. Look for something to get involved in outside of Greek life.
