Re: Sophomore who didn't get a bid at a frat - how should I approach open rush?

1) The pacers suck
2) You're obviously not as great as you think if you got cut. Talk to your friends and find out why. If you smell, it's better to know now.
3) If there is another house you like consider rushing them. It's a small school so you should know what house you like by now. And most likely, there is no set amount of spots like sororities have so figure out what went wrong.

If you don't care for the other houses, then that's that, isn't it?

I didn't rush my freshman year fearing that my grades would suffer from fraternity life. I did formal recruitment just this past week at my small school which has six fraternities and I rushed at two. I knew some guys in one frat but I didn't get a bid from either. Not to be cocky, but I'm good-looking, friendly, and I have a 3.4 GPA. I feel like I clicked well with all of the guys that I met from both frats but something must have gone terribly wrong. Frats at my school usually don't have a problem with sophomores. I'm going to go through Open Rush for Spring 2006. I have a family friend who was a brother at one of the frats but from a different school - should I ask him to write me a letter of recommendation? Will this help? Any hints of what could have gone wrong? My school is small so it was easy to find out where I fit in, and that's why I was so disappointed that I didn't get a bid the other day. I really felt like I was a perfect fit at either fraternity.
