Informal Recruitment as my second shot???

[Jnorts]

Hi all,
I didn't have a very positive experience during formal recruitment this past spring and though my school is not known for being competitive in greek life, very few people I knew ended up with bids that they accepted. Anyway, to quickly summarize, my experience was that I loved my first days and then once the second round came, I was cut from every house but 1 (there are 7). I was HEARTBROKEN. And the 1 I was invited back to was the one I did not feel like I fit in with at all. Several people tried to tell me that I should give that sorority a shot, and while the girls were nice and everything I just knew I didn't connect with them and I couldn't get my spirits up to go to their event later that evening, so I dropped recruitment altogether. I have no idea what actually happened, but I guess the connections I made in other sororities weren't mutual.

I've decided I want to try again after seeing what each sorority did during the spring semester and after being around more sisters in each of the sororities. There are a couple I would really like to look at, and I have one favorite from what I can tell based on the girls I have met. At my school, it seems like each of the sororities does informal in the fall, but I cannot figure out how it works. Can anyone tell me anything about it, and whether or not it seems like a good fit for me? Is it like casual events? How do you get invited to them? Do other PNMS go to the same events as I will? Are there interviews or just events like during formal recruitment?

Thanks so much- sorry for the long post!!!
