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.

Try out COB. A member of a local sorority IS eligible for membership in a national sorority. However, if COB doesn't work out, cut your losses and try something else.

And I don't say this to be cruel, but if you were cut by all 10 chapters in formal and the campus recruitment is not very competitive, you are probably not a good fit for Panhellenic Sorority Life at this campus... Unless there were just some extremely bizarre circumstances that you have proof of and which led to those cuts...

There are Greek Life opportunities outside of being a Panhellenic Greek. These may be a better fit for you at your school. You can also look at Non-Collegiate Sororities.

Regardless, I hope you find your niche at the university and wish you much luck and success at the college and with your career plans.

The OP didn't seem to indicate her current involvement with the local--so should she disaffiliate from her local before going through COB? I mean, it could be awkward to be at a COB event while being a member of another sorority, even a local. Something to consider...

Yeah if you're going to go through COB, you need to officially end your membership with the local sorority.
