Should I re-rush?
Hi girls, most of you all seem to be involved in greek life and would be able to give me some good advice on my situation. I attened University of Florida, where we only have one rush during the fall, and its a pretty big deal where over 1000 girls rush every year. I rushed in 2005, during my freshman year. I really had no clue about greek life or what rushing entails, all I knew was being in a sorority sounded like fun to me. So I just jumped into rush, and it is quite the experience to say the least. Well during this time, I was really stressed, I to move into my dorm during little breaks that I had, my dorm set on fire one morning, my roommate and I had issues, and the worst of all and what really got to me, was a good family friend of mine was just diagnosed with brain cancer and they pretty much gave her a death sentance during that time. I had a lot on my mind to say the least, and I'm sure I was pretty aloof during the rounds. Right before prefs, I got my two houses that asked me back and my heart wasn't in either one of them so I dropped, and just went back home for a few days to get my thoughts together and see my friend. I was upset granted that some of the houses I really loved didn't ask me back for prefs, and that was a definite blow to my ego as well, but I had bigger issues on my mind. But honestly I'm afraid to go through the whole process again just to get houses my heart wasn't at. The question is should I consider re-rushing for fall 2006? Would I have a shot? Is there anything I could do to up my chances at getting a house I like? Would they count it against me that I am re-rushing, or would the sisters even bring it up? Some input on my whole situation would be great, thanks so much.
