Not matching in recruitment alone shouldn't require counseling in most cases. But if think what you feel or how you interact is beyond the normal range, you should go to the student counseling center and get an appointment or depending on how bad you feel right now, to the student health center for immediate mental health care.

But don't conclude that because recruitment didn't work out that you have a deep-seated issue.

It does sort of seem to me that if you don't feel like you are getting over what happened in 9th grade that you'd benefit from talking to a professional about how to deal with that and be the person you want to be today.

And about re-rushing or COB: don't do anything until you've made improvements to your accomplishments. There's very little reason why you could expect to get picked up by a group that didn't work out in the past unless you had done something to become a stronger candidate.

And this probably goes without saying, but don't do a lot of talking about how devastated you are about your results. Certainly, confide in friends, but you don't want to seem like the crying girl from the weird rush stories thread, so don't let the groups know how distressed you are.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I've already met a sorority sister, my roommate. But I just met her at the beginning of the semester. As a matter of fact, that was the last sorority kept me around. I will talk to some other soroity sisters from other sororities in my classes.

Just to clarify, that open house last semester was not a part of COB.

In the meanwhile, I will go to the counseling center next week. You guys are right, I need to get better before I can do anything else. I had shyness problems when I was little and yet I have made a lot of friends until the 9th grade.

BTW, I have read about the crying girl story and that scared me.
