Warning: this is kind of long
So, I just want honest advice because I have a difficult decision to make. Here's my situtation:
I rushed ABC. It was a sorority that a friend was in and I really enjoyed being around the sisters. I recieved a bid but because of a family emergency I couldn't accept it at the time. I rushed again and recieved another bid from the same sorority. I pledged and was one of the stronger members of my class, but I depleged after 4 weeks(for a valid reason that was beyond my control). I didn't want to go and my educator didn't want me to leave. I'm still close to the girls I was pledging with and they are encouraging me to pledge again. I've also had a couple of the sisters encourage me to consider repledging. The thing is a that a really close friend of mine is currently pledging XYZ. XYZ had been one of my choices but I didn't recieve a bid from them. When I went to events for XYZ, I was kind of shy and, during my rush with XYZ, I was just having one of those bad weeks (I lost my contacts, locked my keys in my car, had 3 exams, and got sick). It ended with a bad interview (I was nervous and I choked) and I can honestly say I wasn't surprised that I didn't get a bid.
Now, I'm in a few organizations with XYZ sisters and my friend is really happy with them. Both ABC and XYZ are respected sororities who have open rush. I'm asking:
1.) Should I repledge with ABC or is trying a second time(third time getting a bid) too much to ask for?
2.) Should I even consider XYZ? Would they even consider me?
BTW, one of the reasons that I'm considering pledging XYZ is because one of the ABC sisters has been very disrespectful of me and the pledges. Several of the sisters have already told her to quit but it still goes on. Luckily, she's the only one I have a problem with. I would be proud to be a sister of either ABC or XYZ.
I would really appreciate any honest advice. Thanks
advice anyone?
