Yeah but it can belong to any college also. Please stop acting like a know it all. Even if you do know what college it is, you do not need to broadcast it.

Look...she wants to know what her chances are of getting re-bid are after depledging. Those who don't know what school she's at can speculate all they want about what un-competitive means. To someone who went to Bama, UofI may seem uncompetitive, and yet a sophomore who depledged might not have a good chance at a bid there. I'm telling her that I know what school it is, and her chances of getting another bid are good...depending on how she presents herself at rush. If you were in her situation, would you rather have random people guessing (AKA blowing sunshine up your ass), or real information from someone who knows your school?

I also came from a midwest school with a non competitive greak system and low enrollment. I know at my school depledging was not held against girls as long as there wasn't a lot of drama associated with it.

If you are interested in trying to join back up with your original chapter then I would contact them first. However, if you would prefer another over them it might not be wise to start contacting them. I liked the advice of going to COB events in the spring, also, if you have friends that are in the other sorority, use them as a way to get your story out. They can let the rest of their sisters know that you were having situational issues at teh time but that it's not about to happen again. If you dont have any friends in the sorority...make some. This is the best way to get to know the sisters and have them get to know the real you.?

DOH! Please ignore this. I got my threads confused

It really depends on the school. I went to a medium-sized private university with a fairly active greek system. However, it was not uncommon for girls to depledge and then through either COB or the next year's formal recruitment, join a different chapter. I can name at least 2-3 of my chapter sisters who did that. However, I don't know what happened to them when they went to their former chapter during formal recruitment and how they were treated. My chapter never had a girl depledge from our chapter and join another one on campus so I can't tell you how we would have treated them--I do know that we didn't look poorly on girls who re-rushed after depledging a different chapter on campus.

I would see if you could talk to someone in greek life on campus who you trust and see what they have to say.
