Would my last name blackball me?

I do think it is worth repeating that unless you were a part of a particular membership selection process, the best you can do is GUESS why you were cut.

I was cut by a legacy sorority after the round of parties I went to right after learning my aunt had died of breast cancer. I broke down and cried during the party - was that why I was cut? Maybe - but it might have been because I was a sophomore. Or maybe because I was a theatre major (word was they didn't like to pledge them because they were so busy with shows). My grades were stellar, so it wasn't that, but they might have simply not thought I would be at home with them. Or they were just intimidated by my hotness. I will never know - and the op will not know why she was/might be cut by a house. However, I doubt it is because of a Jewish-sounding last name. But I don't know . . .
