I think that if this "dream" was at all important to you, you would have (1) tried to make it happen earlier in your college career or (2) gone back to any group that was interested in you. The one person you spoke with at each organization represented themselves and not the entire organization. I understand that it is difficult to judge an organization based on a 20 minute conversation with a lack-luster member but my guess is that you probably had your heart set on a select few houses and weren't open to giving other organizations the benefit of the doubt. I personally think that you missed your chance when you turned down the organizations that saw something wonderful in you. Sorry for being so blunt but you wanted honesty and this is my honest opinion.

Co-sign. It's time to move on, Emme.

It sounds like you dropped out after the first round. I really have no sympathy for your situation if that is the case. It's doubtful that you'd have talked to the same women in the next round, and you might have had an entirely new impression of them.

Just wondering, why hadn't you gone through recruitment during your first three years of school?

I agree... I'd say the boat has passed and you should probably pursue different types of collegiate organizations or clubs to get involved with campus
