Need an Opinion...
As many of you know, I am not greek. I rushed once my sophomore year, and dropped out. I went through formal again this year and was cut by all 10 houses after round 2. I also went to an informal party last spring for a sorority that a very good friend of mine had just become active in. The chapter had not made quota, and they were looking for new members. I went to one informal party, and things went great. I got along great with all the members. I told my friend how badly I wanted to be a part of her org and she made it sound like I was in, no problem. The next week she called me before the second round of informal parties, and told me that they had to cut me "not because we didn't like you, but because you rushed before."
Because I rushed before? That didn't make sense to me. I called Greek Affairs and asked them. I was told by them that the chapters have a "cut once, cut always" rule, and because they cut me during formal that year, I couldn't be pledged. (I know this rule is controversial on this board, but this is what I was told). I also asked some greek friends of mine, and they concurred that once a house has cut someone, they cannot ever become a member. I experienced this when I went through formal this year - every house that had cut me the year before cut me after the first day.
So, herein lies my problem. I got in last night and there was a message on my answering machine: "Hi, this is so-and-so from XYZ sorority. I just wanted to let you know about some activities we have going on in the next few weeks..." It is from the same sorority that cut me during informal last year. I don't know positively what they're calling about - but I know that this is their exact time of year to have their informal parties. What do I do? I don't want to go and get disappointed for a fourth time in trying to be in a sorority. I don't want to miss an opportunity either. Any ideas?
