Question about new chapter/recolonization
Okay so long story short because of several factors of living in a different country for my first year of college, transferring my second year but a rule about the orientation date keeping me from rushing, I was finally able to rush my "junior" year. Thing is, it isn't really my junior year because when I transferred from my previous school I completely changed my major (and added a minor) and the school I used to go to didn't do any sort of freshman introductory classes, so at most, I am a sophomore right now. The problem is when I transferred to my new school they took the credits I had from my old school and just put them on my transcript as elective credits. When they added them all together the credit hours basically labeled me as a junior even though I know I'm going to be here for at least three more years.
Anyway, I went for formal recruitment just two weeks ago before school started and I got dropped by everyone. I'd heard it was going to be hard for a "junior" so I tried to explain to the sororities what my situation was.
Regardless, I did not receive a bid. Would I be completely out of line wanting to either recolonize a sorority that went inactive on our campus or even establishing a new sorority (I know I would need to contact the greek life coordinator to start with and even see if my school is looking to grow their greek life)? We had our largest PNM number sign up for recruitment this year and our quotas were a lot higher too.
Just wondering your thoughts and/or whether I should give up on joining a sorority.
Thank you!
