Reasons to not be accepted?

I rushed in Spring for my 2 top sororitys and didn't get a bid from either. The first time I was devastated. The second time I was upset, but I didn't let myself fall apart.

I'm a transfer student (21 years old), I live with my dog and fiance off campus... but I make myself very available and love getting involved.

Could those reasons be why I wasn't accepted to either sorority?

As has been said here many times before, no one can give you a definite answer as to why you didn't receive a bid.

There most likely are reasons, but the Membership Selection processes and criteria of each sorority is private, so we do not know why you didn't receive a bid just because:

*We aren't members of those chapters.
*We weren't there to see you interact with them.

We can SPECULATE, but we can't tell you because we just don't know.

This these threads have some really good info about not getting a bid though, I suggest reading them:

I think this post by adpiucf is a good one on the subject as well:
