Didn't Get Picked

Does it hurt your chance of getting a bid if you cannot go to any of the greek events before recruitment? I am transferring in the spring and they are all in the fall since VT has deffered recruitment.

Are you a male or female?

Some thoughts/advice for those who don't get bids:

You aren't alone because at EVERY school, there are girls who for whatever reason don't receive bids.

Not receiving a bid doesn't make you less of a person.

Recruitment is not a guaranteed process and there are no guarantees that you will receive a bid.

We here at Greek Chat can offer sympathy or speculate about what happened, but we can't tell you with any degree of certainty why you/your loved one didn't receive a bid because:

* we don't know you/them personally.
* we aren't members of the sororities at your school.
* we weren't there to see you interacting with the sororities during rounds.
* the member selection process of every sorority is private information.

What we can do is suggest that you:

* maybe check out COB opportunities (if available).
* get involved in other activities at school.
* make friends, and enjoy the rest of college!

^^^That last point is SO important. It is okay to cry, get upset, whatever, but eventually you do need to realize that college DOES GO ON. While you're sitting around for weeks after rush being upset about not being Greek, you could be missing out on valuable opportunities to make friends and get involved on campus.

You might have better luck posting this in its own thread since your question is kind of unrelated to the topic of the original post.

I don't think it will kill you at VT to miss the fall Greek events - it might help to have gone to some, but I don't think not going will kill you.

That's based off my admittedly second-hand knowledge of VT rush from friends who went there.
