No one here can tell you for sure whether you'll get a bid if you do go through COB because we don't go to your school.

There's no harm in going to events and checking them out.
Well said.

You do need to note that some groups (either nationally or on a chapter by chapter basis) have a cut once/cut always rule. So if you get cut by all 10 again, it might be best to try getting involved in other organizations

Do we know that they really do?

I have the feeling that it's kind of an urban legend.

I guess there's no way of knowing since it's MS, but it just doesn't make any sense in the era of release figures.

You're right. There's no way of knowing this for sure, which is why there's no harm in going to COB events for chapters and seeing what happens.

Yea.. I don't know the chapters at her school or how they operate.. I just heard when I was college that sort of thing existed. It might not be correct? Who knows.

Anyway, OP, even if they don't have a "once cut, always cut" policy, you'll need to have something new to show for yourself or you can expect similar results this time. Are your grades better? Do you hold some leadership roles on campus? Did you make friends with a bunch of Greek women outside your local too?

Because if you rush with exactly the same resume and connections, you can expect similar results, I'm afraid.

And that's not even getting into whether having dropped out of the local is going to be harmful.

So much of the answer to your question depends on the climate of your particular campus.

I don't see the harm in COB. With formal recruitment, you could have been lost in the shuffle.

Good point. COB is likely to be different than formal.

Try, try again

And unless the chapters have some crazy database of information on girls they've cut, they probably won't even remember you. Of course, if you wore pantyhose with sequins up the back, they might still remember you.
