Fall '09 Recruitment Story

bethechange · #1 08-20-2009, 11:46 AM

I regret to inform you all that I withdrew from recruitment today. I was only asked back to Gray. I tried to keep an open mind and went to the video round and it just didn't feel right. It was tough, definitly shed some tears and was a little angry but I know everything happens for a reason and I have amazing friends who truly care about me and want to be in my life and this experience has made me appreciate them more than anything! Sorry it wasn't a fairy-tale ending but it happens.

I'm so sorry to hear that things didn't work out for you. It doesn't seem like you had a truly bad time at Gray at the other rounds, so I was surprised to hear you would rather not be Greek at all than join that house... but of course, it was your decision and I'm sure it was not made lightly. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful college experience nonetheless, and good luck to you!

I always feel bad when pnm's withdraw instead of trying to stick it out, as you do only get to base your opinions off a very short period of time. But it's your decision and I'm sure you feel you made the right one. I don't know if your school does COR/COB but if they do and you are still interested in greek life you should sign up for the activities that the different houses hold.

I think most chapters at this school do meet total after formal recruitment, but there MAY be a rare opportunity for COB at a couple chapters. Maybe.

So sorry it didn't work out for you. I was pulling for you. But you go to a great school with tons of opportunities and you never know what will happen. Just keep that positive attitude up to everyone, because you never know who's listening. Good luck to you!
