Another shot?

I feel as if it just looks bad for me to try for informal in the spring, particularly since I will technically be considered a junior come spring. But, I can't shake the feeling that I belong in a sorority. Despite getting as involved as I can since getting dropped in formal, none of it makes me as happy as I was hanging out with the girls of the chapter I went to COB events for.

So, basically since I already have been rejected twice and will already be so far along in hours, is it worth giving informal in the spring a shot? Or will it just be setting me up for more disappointment?

Honestly, YOU are the only one who can determine if something is worth it.

However, just be prepared for the fact that things may not turn out the way you want, especially if these are chapters that may have dropped you before.

If they extended more than one or two bids through COB, I would skip it.

If they only extended one or two bids through COB and don't continue to keep in touch with you throughout the semester, I would skip it.

If the women keep calling you and inviting you to lunch or whatever with them and seem friendlier than usual on campus, go for it.

You need to decide if you think it's worth a shot. Like someone has said, be prepared for the fact that they won't bid you again.

I know you say you "can't shake the feeling that you belong in a sorority" but unfortunately Greek Life doesn't happen for everyone.
