Is mutual selection really mutual?

Even though after she went over the rules I told her I wouldn't be comfortable with my 3rd choice.

I don't know how I'm going to feel about joining a sorority a semester from now, but I feel like I was misinformed. I doubt the Greek life office will care that I misunderstood. But I wanted to get y'alls opinion on trying to go that route. I really don't want to get my Rho Chi or anyone in trouble though. Would talking to Greek Life be stir up more trouble than it's worth?

You cannot talk them into it.

If you receive a bid and decline it, you cannot participate in formal or informal for an entire year.

Yes, it sucks that the rules were not explained to you properly (and Rho Chi's should know better), but that does not change the rule. This is a national NPC policy

If you wish t talk to the GL office and tell them that you were misled, that is up to you. They can make sure that next year's Rho Chi's understand the rules better, but it doesn't change the rule.
