Yet another recruitment disappointment...

Like at most schools, mine has a struggling, not as popular chapter.

I met four girls who were all so cute and sweet and we had amazing conversations and I really felt like I belonged. So I ranked them first.

I got my schedule tonight and was happy to find that I had a full schedule and had only been dropped by one sorority... until I realized that the one that had dropped me had been my favorite. From what I could tell (and I talked to a LOT of girls) I was the only one that had not been invited back.

I'm so upset about it. I actually think it hurts more than if I had been dropped by a top group, because with a really popular sorority there could have been a lot of reasons, like I may have fallen through the cracks or just not ranked high enough. With this sorority, I know it's something personal and I can't figure out what I did wrong... I really thought they liked me

I guess I'm not really looking for advice because I know none of you can tell me what went wrong, but I need to vent and have no one to talk to. I can't talk to my mom because she doesn't understand because she's not greek. I tried to talk to my friend in my rho gamma group, but all she said was that I'm lucky I didn't have to go back there. And yes, she was invited back and not happy at all about it.

I went to my parties and had a good time, but I just feel so hurt and want to know what I did. Why they didn't like me as much as I liked them

Thanks for giving me a space to complain... have you ever heard of this happening to a girl?

I had a similar experience at the college I go to and it is tearing me up inside.After the first day,my rho gamma called me to say that no chapter invited me back.It REALLY hurt me.I was depressed for days and I still am in some ways.I don't why some sororities pick some girls and some don't and I'm starting to think there are some inconsistencies in the whole formal recruitment process.It's ironic the one thing girls want to get into so badly,they can't get into.I still want to get into a sorority somehow but it still hurts all the same not really knowing why none of the chapters I visited called me back.I hope you find what you're looking for.Good luck with whatever you choose to do!!
