International freshman

[marauder]

Hi, I am an international freshman who wants to pledge this semester. he problem is that I don't really know anyone in a fraternity and am not aware of the process.

I have registered for the rush and attended the mandatory information session, but am kinda confused bout what to do next.

Could someone just point me in the right direction? Also, what happens if you do not get any bids? Someone told me that you are banned from greek life forever and cannot even enter a party afterwards. Is that true? If yes, would it be better for me not to rush this year and do so next year?

Thanks
