Ooh, sorry about that. I REALLY should have clarified. No, I did not mean released, I was stuck in a sticky situation where I only had one sorority for Preference and got a bid to them, but was incredibly uncomfortable at the house to the point that I would rather not go greek than join that house.
From what I've seen at UO (and I'm sure happens at many other campuses as well), I feel like there seems to be a clear line of the normal sororities and a couple struggling ones. Some girls, find their home in the struggling ones, but I've seen and talked to MANY that were in the same situation as me and just could not accept a bid to the sorority.
So no, I was not released, but I did not find my happy ending that year. While there are numerous reasons explaining where the 250 girls went during recruitment (the football game not helping), some of those will leave with perhaps not a great ending.
Obviously though, the numbers are in your favor. My chapter took about 5 or 6 sophomores last year in a pledge class of 60, if I'm counting right. There may be more or less, cause honestly, I can't pinpoint who is older than most girls in their pledge class.
Again, I'm so sorry about not clarifying. Re-reading it I reads as if I was released.
