I got cut from a bunch of houses and I don't know why
I'm rushing at UGA so recruitment can be competitive but not overly so. I don't have any connections to greek life and I'm not from the area so I recognize I am at a disadvantage. However I got recs for the majority of the houses from alumnae. I have a very high GPA, I was involved in NHS and 4H in highschool, I have been riding and competing in horseback riding since I was a young girl, and I worked for several months at an animal hospital (I'm pre vet). I felt as though I had a strong resume going into recruitment. I don't mean to sound conceited or narcissistic but I do know that looks are taken into account and I feel that I am a very pretty girl. Although I don't have the stereotiypical sorority girl look, I have a nice body and a pretty face and I know how to apply makeup. When I was talking to the girls, there were some houses where conversation was a little awkward but most of them I thought I really connected with. Going into round two, I was confident that I would get bids from more houses, but the majority of the houses, especially the "top tier" houses dropped me and I just can't figure out why. It seems like all the girls I talked to wen tot double the houses I went to. Even girls that I felt had much less to offer than me. Again I don't mean to sound conceited but there were several girls that got invited back to very difficult houses that were less attractive and less involved in highschool. I feel like it was something big for so many houses to drop me but I just can't figure out what I did wrong.
Sorry for such a long post, but thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!
