HQ will not give you the option to rerush.

They told you that you can't rerush or that you're the exception and can?

just like since everyone had been really irresponsible, and no one was getting back, and the fact that none of my paperwork was sent in and that i never got my badge, and that if i dont hear back, and then i can go ahead and re-rush. the lady on the phone was like "uh huh..we understand..we understand..im sorry this is happening" she sounded a little afraid..haha

im just afraid..with girls being girls..ill get screwed over. but it just sucks, because i love being in a sorority. being part of something like that..i just really enjoy it. and to not be able to do it, really saddens me. people will say "well then y did you leave your school..or why didnt u depledge..thats the responsible thing to do" A) i HAD to leave my school..hated it..they didnt have my major, thought rushing would make it better, it didnt" B) i would of depledged seriously thought about it, but i heard about so many people transfering and switching into other chapters, etc..that i thought it wouldnt be such a difficult deal.

What are you looking for here? Is it permission to rerush? Fine then, go ahead and rush again. But who's to say the same thing won't happen to you again? What if you pledge another sorority and then they don't send in the paperwork for you to headquarters?

no, i was just asking for advice. not permission. just someone to talk and help me out...see if ne1 has ever been in the same position before, but i guess not...

I think they are giving you advice. The chapter of your sorority at your current school knows who you are. They know you are claiming to be an XYZ. If you rerush, they will surely think a) you are a psycho liar trying to sneak into their sorority or b) you have no loyalty all because of a paperwork snafu. Neither option is pretty. There is also the very real possibility that they will share this information with HQ and the other chapters on campus. It would probably not be in your best interest to go through recruitment. I know it's not what you obviously want to here. My advice would be to call HQ and ask for the chapter advisor for your initiating chapter. Contact this woman and explain your situation as calmly as possible. You'll get a lot farther if you sound rational and understanding about the paperwork mistakes. Just impress on her that you'd really like to get involved with the chapter at your new school. Then.....give her some time to help you. Just because you have a timeline does not mean that it matches hers. Tell your Mom that you are handling the situation. She's probably upset because you are upset. Take a deep breath...things will work out!
