I didn't think I said anything too negative about any of the sororities I interacted with. I was just voicing my opinion. And if girls from the group are reading it they shouldn't be offended by my 1 opinion of their chapter. The whole point of rush is them developing opinions about us and us developing opinions about them...so technically I am doing what I am supposed to do and the groups that cut me for one reason or another were doing what they were supposed to do. Form opinions, make decisions, cut or not. And that's what I did in return.
I did receive a bid from Muffin but I declined. I couldn't see myself as a Muffin, and I am not saying anything bad about them because they got 17 new members this pledge period so obviously there are other people who did see what they needed in them. I did not. I think if I would have done rush as a freshman and unmarried it would have turned out much differently. But hey everything happens for a reason
I did however, instead of attending bid day celebrations go to the first day of rush for Omega Phi Alpha and I love it. I think I definitely found my home in this group.
Like you all told me, Greek Life isn't for everyone. I'm not being bratty insofar as saying things like "I withdrew because I didn't get the house I wanted, etc." I withdrew because I didn't feel I belonged in any of it. The more I learned about Greek Life, the more I realized it just wasn't for me. I'm married! I can't be going on date dashes and date parties...my husband would not be comfortable with that and neither would I. There were so many more reasons as to why I declined my bid. But I am glad I did, I am absolutely in love with OPhiA and their interview portions start tomorrow. If you are interested I could let you all know how that goes.
I want to thank you all for following my thread and being interested in my recruitment story. If you are dying to know my code just PM me.
Hope you all have wonderful Fall semesters, greek or not
