Should I try again?
Hi!
I recently participated in formal rush at my school, and unfortunately in ended in disappointment for me. There are 6 houses at my school and they all have different GPA requirements. After my first semester I earned a 2.6 GPA. (It turns out now that one of my grades was wrong and I now have a 2.83 GPA). My first choice house had a 2.5 GPA requirement. I know several girls in the house and that is the house I know I belong in, but the girl that took me around the house and I did not connect to say the least. Our interests were very different. But I know as a whole I fit in with the people in that house. My second and third choice houses have 2.75 GPA requirements, which I did not make according to my first GPA. I did not get asked back to my top three houses, but I continued to go through rush. On the last day of rush I had a few other houses that were interested in me but I went with my heart and decided that I didn't want to be in just any sorority, I really wanted to be an Alpha Phi. I would have been happy as a Delta Gamma or Kappa Kappa Gamma too. So I decided not to accept any bids from any of the other houses and I'd just rush again next year. It was a really hard decision because I ended up having friends that went to every house. The whole thing still bothers me, but I think I am happy with the decision that I made. But I have been thinking lately, when I rush again next year will these sororities think any less of me because I didn't get in on the first try? I'd hate to walk in with a strike already against me, and set myself up for disappointment again. I know that sororities aren't suppose to disclose how they pick members, but could somebody tell me if I'd have less of a chance getting in because I was rejected my first time? I know that this is something I really, really want, but I just want to know if it's worth trying it again. I'd really appreciate anyone's suggestions. Thanks!
