You haven't even accepted the bid, but you're worried that you haven't clicked with your pledge class?

NOTE: I say this being unbiased, as Bid Day for UT-Austin is tomorrow. Also, if you read my other posts, I withdrew this morning.
Good job for you on getting the top two interested in you. However, you must ask yourself --
Do I really want to be in a sorority? Your pledge class will be your friends for the next few years. Though you might find others, you might not.
Did you do it just to see if you could get in? Did you do it to make friends?
Like it or not, you will be taking spots from girls that want them. Only accept a bid if you want it.

how can you click with a pledge class that has not been formed yet?

"Clicking" isn't always instant and it doesn't happen immediately the day you accept your bid.
Think of it this way, you and your best friend (if you have one) didn't become friends overnight.
It took time.
It's the same thing with a sorority.
Friendships within a sorority take time and effort just like any other relationship.
Either accept the bid, and take the time to get to know them, and see if you "click" or don't.

You haven't pledged yet so there is no class. I call Bull Shit again

Because you are a troll and there is more bull shit. Drop from recruitment now!
What is this with UT recruitment and the rediculous posts?

No kidding.
Where are the truly entertaining trolls, the ones where the train wreck .gif gets posted, and IBTL and the sequins and the volcano and all the good stuff? This batch = *yawn*

Really? Interesting, since you titled that other thread " Cut from UT Austin recruitment on preference night. Made it this far. What do I do?"

I got cut from all of the groups. I withdrew totally from the process so that I couldn't get snap bids.
It just wasn't meant to happen, and I don't want to be waiting around to get rejected.

That's not really what that means.
And, for the love of GOD, please learn to use the Quote button in the lower right corner of the post you want to comment on. It is painful to read your posts.
