Follow your heart Crystal, you'll never go wrong. Good luck and i can't wait to hear where your new home is!!

Well, ya'll have been awesome, and I love the girls I met this week to death, which makes this even worse to tell you. I wasn't invited back anywhere tonight, and I was told, "They love you, but you're a junior, so you got less points than the freshmen and sophomores."

Big surprise, but I'm still more disappointed than I thought I would be. So, guess who's still homeless.

Crystal, that really hurts.

I'm sorry. If there is anything we can do, let us know.

I'm soooo sorry to hear this. Are you okay? Any chance you might be able to COB this year?

Crystal, I could cry for you.

I do want to echo something that ucfadpi said on another thread, though. You don't know what's going to happen yet. There may be someone who wasn't happy to get a bid from France, and they may come back with a snap bid or COB! Especially if they told you that it was because you're a junior - I would look at that as a very good indication that you could be snap bid (if possible).

Please don't despair!

Ditto on what honey said! Crystal, we're all here for you!

True, I am not a student at MTSU, but having had experience with the rushes and ups and downs and several other universities around the country, I do want to assure you there are other ways to become involved in Greek Life outside of Formal Recruitment, and I hope you will keep an open mind and explore these options. Don't ever let any of your opponents say, "I told you so!" If you want something, you make it happen, lady!

Pi Love and Mine,
ADPiUCF

Can they still snap bid me even if I don't go to Pref? I'd think about COB, but it's unlikely (or so I was told) that groups will be.

smiley21 · #**176** 08-19-2003, 01:15 PM

oh crystal, i wanted this so bad for you!! we all love you!!

Honestly, right now I'm in tears, but I'll be fine.

Yes, you can still be snap bid, even if you haven't attended prefs. One of my best friends got her LilSis that way. Her Lil Sist pref'd "Scotland" and "Russia," but didn't get a bid from either. On Bid Day morning, "Brazil" AND "Argentina" called with offers! She's a very happy Brazilian these days

Another girl in my PX group dropped out after day before prefs, and "Argentina" called her, too.

Never discount COB. It might happen, it might not. You never know how rush will turn out.

Good luck!
