I know a lot of girls at my school who joined houses, depledged and rushed again this past year, getting the bids they had originally wanted, so I know it's not impossible..I can name at least 4, and that's just people that I know personally. And I know there's no way you guys know me, but I was just hoping to get some advice on recruitment from others at maybe even more competitive schools since I don't know what their policy on talking up and helping rushees would be. I think my biggest problem last year was that I wanted to be nice to the girl in my bid sorority, so I acted like I wanted to be there when I really didn't. My best friend was in the same situation but she flat out told the girl she wanted another house so they didn't extend their bid to her.

The best advice we can give you is to go in with an OPEN mind. You will only do yourself a disservice to go through with your mind firmly set on one group. Recruitment has too many variables for that to work in the best of situations, but in your case, you should go in looking to fit into every group on campus. You should be happy to receive a bid regardless of which chapter offers it to you.
