Didn't Get Picked

I get the feeling, OP, that you were fairly unprepared going into recruitment. Your lack of knowledge of the terminology, particularly the term "rec" is a red flag.

Recruitment is like a job interview. You don't just walk in off the street and land a highly coveted position. The same can be true of recruitment. Can you shed some light on what your campus Greek life is like? Comment on Violetpretty's list above regarding what you think may have gone wrong, and we may be able to advise you better.

Oh my God thank you, because I was going to say what you said so nicely, not as nicely because I just didn't know how else to say it.

Could be, but it depends on the campus. If she goes to school in the South, the majority of the PNMs probably do have recs at a school with 7 chapters and not having recs could have been a downfall. Other places, you can be pretty clueless, register the day before recruitment, and still end up happy.

Agreed. I still wish the OP would help us help her by filling in some blanks. Like some have said, going through rush a second time can be a real option, but that depends on several different factors.

Agreed...... It helps to have the things VioletPretty talked about in her post, and to do your homework on the sorority recruitment experience.....

I usually suggest COB....but not this time....
