Hey everyone! I have been on GC for about a year. It all began the summer before my freshman year of college. I had heard about sororities and knew that Greek life was very big at the school I was going to attend. It is in the south, but not an SEC school. Its safe to say that recruitment at my school is quite a big deal. Anyway, lets get into my story.
The first time I ever went through recruitment, I tried to prepare myself the best way possible. However what I assumed to the "best way" was to read sites like Greek rank, college ACB, etc for all kinds of tid bits about sororities. I started to form in my head what I thought were the "top choices" for sororities at my school. While doing this fact-finding, I also started to research how a girl should look going through recruitment. I started buying nothing but Vineyard Vines, Lilly Pulitzer, and Jack Rodgers to "prepare" myself for recruitment.
Fall 2012 Recruitment finally arrived! I felt prepared. I thought I was going to be a shoe-in for a top tier sorority. So you can say I was quite surprised when it came down to pref round that I had only two choices. One that i liked, but wasn't so sure about, and another that i felt absolutely uncomfortable with. So i suicided, or "single intentional pref-ed" to be more official. I waited until bid day, and lo and behold received "the call" to inform me that i did not receive a bid.
I was extremely crushed. Everything that I wanted, i didn't receive. It was so hard to see all the girls running to their homes, to see pictures online of all the happy girls in their pledge classes. I moped around, but knew that I was eligible for Spring informal recruitment, so I held onto that.
After joining a few organizations and generally getting myself up out of my pity party, Spring recruitment finally arrived. I attended the event, met all the girls, and felt great. Two sororities invited me back, yet they were both ones that i felt "too good" for, so I didn't attend their parties. A few weeks later, I was invited to another spring recruitment event for one house. I was so excited to go. I spent the maximum allotted time there, meeting all of the girls and trying to make an impression. Once more, I came up with nothing.
I really had no choice but to move on. I got involved in several things, and was happy my freshman year. But as summer came along and I did some more thinking, I decided that I wanted to try formal recruitment one last time...
