*hugs* I'm so sorry it didn't work out. I just finished reading the thread I was hoping you wouldn't get the phone call and was bummed when I scrolled down a little more. It will hurt now b/c you invested a lot of time into this process and will do so for the first few weeks. I have been there myself but know that there is something for you, whether in the form of COB, next year's recruitment if you choose or really just something else non-greek org related. In college your niche exists, you just have to find it and really look for it in order to appreciate it and enjoy it.
I really liked your thread, it was honest and heartfelt and really could witness all the emotions you were going and if anything it shows you gave yourself the chance to open up and be aware of everything around you the emotions effected by it.
Good luck in whatever you choose you will be fine.

((((((((liltrixx)))))))))
I can't give you a hug in person, so I'll do an online hug. 
I know you are hurting right now, but always remember when one door closes another door opens.
Enjoy school and keep your wonderful positive attitude!!!!!!

I'm so sorry that your recruitment didn't work out the way you wanted it to. From your posts, it sounds like you are an amazing and intelligent woman and I'm sure you'll be fine at UCF with or without Greek Life.
Just out of curiosity, who was your Rho Gamma? I was a RG this year at UCF too.

None of our founders was Jewish. One of our founders may have had a Jewish father (conflicting stories) but the Jewish faith is passed through the mother, and this founder was a Christian and was active in a Christian group at Barnard. There is speculation that her Jewish heritage played a role in our founding though. That has never really been confirmed. Our founders were adamant, however, that religious preference play no role in inclusion in AOII.

My very best wishes go out to you in your years ahead at UCF. So sad to read your story and how your first rush turned out for you. As the mom of a pnm, I can only imagine how you feel. I can tell you are a strong young woman. Some other way or some other opportunity must be headed your way - let us hear from you later on. Good luck!

I'm sorry that happened. You'd think they'd give you a call ALOT earlier so you don't start getting ready to leave (which you probably were).

Hey hun...I'm so sorry that you were released...PLEASE remember the COB/CORing chapters...
DG did not participate in formal recruitment but not because of any significantly negative reason...just some growing pains inside the chapter (growing in a REALLY positive direction). We'll need some good New Members to swoop in to help carry the chapter through a period of change. There is no chance of the chapter closing or anything (so please do not think that) -- and it'd be a good opportunity to become involved quickly. I'd suggest you check out DG (among the other COB/CORing chapters). Often, as people have said, COB is so much more relaxed and you get a little better feel for the girls and they get a better feel for you.
Good luck! Keep us posted!

It very much hurt my feelings and I finally just had to hang up because I could not take it any more. I then took some Nyquil and went back to bed. But then yesterday when I woke up I was in a good mood because it was the first day of school. The only thing that was hard was seeing the new members in the bid day shirts and new member bags walking around campus. As happy as I am for them that they found their new home, it was equally as hard not to have found mine. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do yet, but have contacted a chapter about COB with them so we will see. My main focus this week will be school and making awesome grades for the long range goal of law school.

((((((hugs)))))) from one pre-law girl to another! A huge ditto to checking out COR and DG--I was a snap bid after I didn't sign a bid card, so it happens, and since I ended up in the right place, I'm sure there's one out there for you if you decide to pursue it. I hope you're doing well, and if all else fails, you're already ahead of most other fish in the school by having gone through recruitment and met a ton of amazing women! I hope this year will be a great one for you.
