So I've been reading on here that we can't re-rush for a full year bc of NPC. But if we want to re-rush in the Spring of 2011, will we be at a disadvantage? We are both currently IN chapters (because we signed pref cards) but have only been for a short time. We're not initiated or anything, just VERY new members.
I guess I'm looking for a school specific answer? If that is at ALL possible. I feel like I will have it worse off at UVA to re-rush, but will it be hard for my Tech friend also? Will our sororities tell other sororities not to let us in? (Even though if I drop out for personal reasons, not me being like "well I hate XYZ." And likewise for my friend...)
Trust me I am giving this a try but I don't think it's fair to "XYZ" to stay in it for 4 years when I know I can't put my whole heart into it.
PLEASE if anyone knows about UVA/ Va-Tech re-rushing......PLEASE.

Of course you're going to be at a huge disadvantage next year. These are two competitive schools geared towards freshman PNMs and you and your friend just had the best shots you're going to have at your "higher choice" chapters. Unless something changes dramatically (and by that I mean you become BFFs with every girl in each of those chapters, have a 4.0 GPA, discover the cure to cancer and have an extreme makeover that leaves you looking like Megan Fox) you're going to be in an even weaker position next year. You'll be the sophomore who pledged and dropped versus all of those shiny new freshmen. It wouldn't be unusual to end up entirely bidless or with only "even lower choice" chapters than you already belong to. Your current situations are most likely the only opportunity you'll have to be Greek at your schools. I know you don't want to hear that but it's the truth. Stop wishing and whining and start trying to make the most of being in the chapter that wanted you.
