I spent the most of my time at 2 of them, and it just sucks that neither of them gave me a bid. I don't mean to sulk, but it really sucks. I have no idea where I'll live next year and my social life is shot...

Would you recommend re-rushing next semester? UGH I hate this

Ouch, sorry, that can really suck, but trust me, you can have a social life without a fraternity.

Should you rush next semester? Well, that depends on what might be different. Nobody can know why you didn't get a bid, but you can do your best to assess what may have happened. Are your grades low? Did you get totally wasted and hit on a brother's girlfriend? Did you limit yourself by only visiting two chapters and not giving others a fair shot (your earlier posts ping this one for me, but obviously I have limited info)? Do groups on your campus just not traditionally give a lot of spring bids?

How are your grades? Did you only look at the two "top tier" groups?

I bet you can have a great social life without being a member of the Greek community. If you're not socially awkward and can handle potentially getting rejected again, look into rushing in the fall. In the meantime, make friends with people in fraternities so you'll have an active member as a personal reference.

Like DBB said, tons of variables as to why you weren't given a bid. We'll never know.
