yeah, i suppose that is exactly the reason. I didn't feel like i fit in with the group of girls, so i didn't want to pay thousands of dollars to be in an organization that I thought wasn't for me. Actually, I didn't want my parents to have to pay for it, if I decide to go through rush again and pledge a sorority I told my parents that I would pay for myself. I think thats one of the main reasons why i decided not to do it this year-I didn't want my parents to pay for something they knew I didn't completely love.
I know going into rush as a junior will put me at a disadvantage, but i met a few juniors last year during rush that did get into houses. And honestly I have an open mind going into it. There is not a particular house that i'm looking at, they are all different and all respectable in their own ways. I just want to give it another chance because I don't want to regret not doing it. I'll get recs, stay involved, keep my grades up, dress classy, stay optimistic and hope that one sorority will realize that i will make a great sister.

Tell us about your new member period before you depledged. How long did you stick it out until you depledged? How often did you go to events? How often did you hang out with your pledge class? How often did you hang out with older sisters? How often did you go to the house just to go? Were you putting in the effort to make connections?
