I'm sorry to hear your news. I've been carefully following your story here and wished you the best; I know you are disappointed.

Right now, it probably seems the worst it ever will. As time goes by, it won't matter so much. If later you are still interested, you may have some COB opportunites.

Good luck!

Aw sorry hun (((hugs))). Are you going to participate in COB/COR?

BetteDavisEyes · #4 08-20-2006, 11:52 AM

I'm sorry.

I read this entire thread & was hoping things would turn out well for you.

I'm sorry things didn't work out. I'm not sure if many UCF chapters have COB, but if they do, I suggest checking it out. I joined my chapter through COB in the spring and it was the best thing I ever did!

i am sorry that things didn't work out! good luck with whatever you choose to do!

Best of luck to you, young lady, from a very sympathetic father whose daughter is going through recruitment. UCF is a great school. I hope you succeed in all your endeavors there. We will keep our fingers crossed that you get picked up by one of the alternative methods.

I'm sorry. I promise, life does go on, but it is perfectly normal and ok to be disappointed right now. Good luck at UCF. It's a great university and I'm sure once you've cleared this roadblock you'll find where you're meant to be.

I'm sorry that things didn't work out for you. I hope you throw yourself into the upcoming semester and get involved on campus. If you decide to pursue COB or rush again in the fall, these things will greatly help you.

I know it has been awhile since UCF's bid day, but I figure it isn't too late to give you some advice.
First of all, I am SO sorry that things didn't go as you planned. I know how painful it is to get your hopes up and have them torn down. Nothing is worse than the feeling of rejection, but don't let this situation negatively impact your self esteem.
On one hand, it may have been meant to be. I know people at UCF that aren't Greek and still manage to have a lot of fun. They have all joined co-ed fraternities for their majors and they go out with them all the time to party. They have connections outside of the world of sororities.
However, I know that being Greek has an incredible thing that I think everyone should get to experiene if given the chance. Ranking can be REALLY hard. It doesn't necessarily mean that no one wanted you--you may have just not matched up. Also, about suicide...I would've kept Scarlett around. It is hard to tell what a chapter is like just from the recruitment process, which is very quick and planned out. Once you're inside, you see things from a whole new view and it could turn out to be amazing. Since you weren't given a bid, you can go through spring recruitment. See if any houses you turned down originally or houses that you connected with do spring rush--maybe Scarlett IS worth another shot.
No matter what, know that college is an amazing experience and whether greek or not, there are so many ways to get involved. You are a very strong person and I'm impressed that you tried and stuck it out til the very end. <3
