If you wait a year, YES you can rush again. In order for you to be able to JOIN the other sorority, they would have to give you a bid again. I do not know if the sorority will give you a bid AGAIN because you picked another sorority over them LAST year. I've NEVER heard of a sorority offering a girl a bid after she turned them down before.

I've seen it happen on my campus, after they rush, they usually explain what happened (or we ask) and why they left the other group. During the bid process, we consider her previous experience and how committed she appears. Usually she would come to the house knowing one of our girls, so we take that into account... I mean... its not a common practice to give these kinds of bids out... but i've seen it happen (we're also a smaller campus so we don't have the same kind of numbers that a larger campus would)

So, i think your chances might depend on your situation... you can PM me if ya want

We're one of the "top ten party school" campuses, so yeah, we're not small. Now I have several friends in that sorority and they said that I should rush again next year. Ofcourse that doesn't mean I'll automatically get in or anything, but it doesn't hurt in trying right? And if they ask me why I left the other group, well I'll just tell them exactly how it went down. Think positive I say.

I'm assuming you went through informal or COR, right? Otherwise, how did you recieve more then one bid, unless it's locals your talking about.

I'd be wary if I knew that someone that we gave a bid to turned it down, and then depledged within a week or two....but that's me.

Give it another shot, you never know.

...nope, it definitely was formal with national sororities. We got to choose which houses we wanted to check out and attend as many of their parties as we want to. If any of the parties' times clashed, you'd choose the one you liked more and attend their party to show them your preference. Next the invitation only parties and bid day.

btw-Thanks for all the feedback ya'll!

actually since going to each sorority on campus wasn't "mandatory" it probably wasn't formal...right? But it wasn't COB...we had to go through the whole process, y'know. COB started after bid day, but only certain sororities decided to do it.

Sorry for the confusion with formal/informal

Now that many campuses are moving to partially structured or minimally structured recruitment methods, the lines are more blurred and things can be done very differently. It's going to take a while before everybody understands how these work. On most campuses, I imagine they will still refer to it as "formal recruitment", even though it's actually PSR or MSR because there is still a set time period during which occurs and it's not quite like COR.

From the way that I took PSR and MSR though you still could only get one bid. Seeing as how she was able to recieve more then one bid, it was probalby informal.

I am pretty sure they do traditional formal @ her school as well.
