Should I Rush Again?

[lolgiro]

What is you opinion of rushing again?

Heres how my formal recruitment week went down:

We have around 5 sororities on campus, after the first night we ranked our top 4. Only two of those invited me back. I went to the two parties, they went well enough, but I knew something was going down when none of the girls I talked with took the slip containing my name from me (they're supposed to take it as soon as we arrive) Then, the following evening (pref night before bid day) I learned that the last two both dropped me. So, I was dropped by all of the chapters on campus, excluding of course the one I initially eliminated.

Is it worth trying informal recruitment again, in the fall? Honestly, though I was deeply disappointed in the way things turned out, I have to be honest about how things were on my end, as well. I gained a considerable amount of weight over last semester and winter break, and therefore lets just say... my immediate wardrobe options were limited, and so I was under dressed for some of the events. I don't feel I made a good impression as compared to many of the other rushees. Two, the fact is, I was shy and nervous, and I know the conversations were a bit dull and flat because I had no idea what to talk about other than basic questions about the chapter. Again, probably my fault. I was also by my Rho that this year was a record setting one in terms of formal recruitment (we have delayed recruitment so 12 credit hours is required to participate), so typically only sophmores will be a part of informal in the fall, and I will be a sophmore then as well.


Is it honestly worth rushing again when I've (hopefully) had a chance to have my health and life in order? Will the chapters hold it against me that I was dropped during formal? What are my chances in pledging should the next time around be considerably better?
