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.

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.

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

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?

Just because XYZ does offer you to do AI (I'm assuming its NPC) doesn't mean that they will accept you. Also being an Alum is very different then being an active collegiate member.

Some questions for you:
By "place a bid on ABC" do you mean you got a bid from them and YOU didn't think they were a fit for you or do you mean you ranked them on your pref card and they didn't give you a bid?
As for "turning down XYZ", do you mean you received a bid from them or you didn't put them on your pref card?
What are your expectations for membership if you join as a collegian? What about joining as an alumna?
