If you are having financial issues with pledging, why do you want to join yet another group?

If this is the school I'm thinking of, dues can vary from $150 to $600 a group. I had trouble swinging my dues, but I definitely couldn't have handled $600.

Sometimes depledging can be counted against you, sometimes rushing more than once can be counted against you. It depends on the school and you. Rush again and see what happens. Spend this year saving money so you don't have financial problems, work out your personal issues, get good grades and get involved on campus. Have something to bring to the table when you rush again-- campus leadership and academic honors. Make friends-- getting involved in campus activities is a good way to do this and you will meet sorority women this way.

I know a girl at my school (a large midwestern college with an extensive greek system) who did that last year and she re-rushed this year. She got to know a lot of the girls in the houses she was interested in. This year, she was a lot happier with the outcome. It was only awkward for her when she visited the house that she depledged, but after that it didn't matter. Just make sure you're not joining for the right reasons.
