Should I give it a second shot?
I have been planning on doing formal recruitment for a LONG time. I am a freshman, it was this week, and I got cut HARD. We had two open house days and on the third day, I was only invited to 1 house instead of 5. Not only that, but it was the house that I didn't like AT ALL. I could tell that those aren't the type of girls I would bond with, so even though my RG tried to get me to still go to the party, I didn't. I was heartbroken and completely dropped recruitment and I can't believe I won't be a part of a sorority like I hoped. I'm thinking I was just too nervous and therefore didn't talk enough, and I was so focused on impressing them that I just smiled a lot and didn't act like myself. Hopefully that's the reason I got cut, not because all the girls that I thought I bonded with hated me.
Obviously I don't need to decide now, but should I do informal recruitment in the fall? I feel so defeated and hurt, but still feel like I belong in a sorority. At my school, as far as I know, all sororities participate in informal because I remember them all advertising at the beginning of the year. Or will the fact that all the houses cut me haunt me again and end up with me being rejected for the second time?
