That would make two of us!

But joy does come in the morning! We're all behind you, Sweetie!

I think you can be snapped as long as you attended "the maximum amount of parties possible." Even though you didn't go to Pref, you went to all the parties that you were invited to, so you'd still be eligible for a snap bid.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong?

Anyway, I'm sorry things didn't work out, Crystal. I know that people are going to tell you stuff like, "Everything's okay in the end -- if it's not okay, it's not the end," and as much as you don't want to hear it, it IS true and you will find a home somewhere or another. It may not be this year, it may not be in college, it may not even be in a sorority -- but it will happen.

Don't count out COB yet either!

Sweetie, I'm sorry! But yes, you can be a snap bid anywhere. And if there are groups COBing, then that would be an option too!

Girl, I am so sorry things did not exactly work out the way you wanted them to. I feel that everything happens for a reason so there may have ben a reason for this. I know one girlin my rho chi group got cut from so many sororities it was so harsh and when they went back and looked, it was a mistake, maybe there is a mistake?
I don't know but I do know that COR can be a great thing (from what I have heard) a lot of sororities start immediately with open bidding parties!!!
Good luck doll!!!!
love always

AWWW sweetie I am so sorry for you. I totally feel your pain on this one. I am really hoping that for you someone will decided not to continue on their own decision and you may get a snap bid! Im wishing you the best of luck!

Thanks for the support ya'll. I appreciate the good wishes. As much as I would love to believe that I would get a snap bid, realistically, it probably won't happen, so I'm trying to not get my hopes up. I'll look for COB opportunities, but I know they won't come from France and I don't want to settle for any group just so I can be Greek. Granted there are 3 groups (maybe 4) that I would be very happy in, but I know only one has COB'd since I've been here, and I was cut after the first night.

awwww

Crystal I am so sorry....

Keep your smiling face though! and just remember...sororities are about sisterhood, community service, social and scholarship.....you have excelled at all of those things and can continue to do that without a GLO....keep in touch girl!

devoted04 · #**188** 08-19-2003, 04:14 PM

Hey girl!

I am so sorry!!!! You are a great girl so always remember that it was their loss as well! I really hope you go through with COB and I hope some snap bids come your way. My heart goes out to you.

Love, V

I'm so sorry to hear about what happened with you rush experience...I really hope that you will be able to get a snap bid or COB. I would recommend trying to go to COB events even to groups that you didn' t think you would fit in well during rush. COB is a much more relaxed experience and you might get a whole different feel of the house. Either way, I wish you the best of luck no matter what!

rosejoy · #**190** 08-19-2003, 05:38 PM

Crystal,

I am sorry to hear that. I went through ECU rush as a junior, and i know how it is to be heavily cut. I was just lucky that our rush is not as competitive here. Do not dismay. We got some great girls who we got through COB. I just know you are awesome!!! All is not lost.

Hugs!
Joy

astroAPhi · #**191** 08-19-2003, 05:52 PM

Crystal, that makes me so sad to hear. I know that you wanted to join for the right reasons.

If you receive a snap bid from somewhere that you will be happy, accept it with pride! And if you are just not in the mood, always keep in mind alumnae initiation. I'm sure you could find a recommendation from every NPC sorority alone in just this forum! We are all behind you, and we want you to be happy. Good luck with what may come.
