i did not think i was above the girls in the chapter. i know several girls in the house and they are all amazing, but for me personally i didn't think it was the right fit.
i only posted on here to get advice for going through rush again, not to have everyone point the finger at me. yes, maybe i did make a huge mistake last year of not giving it more time. yes, i know alot of houses may not want me. but i'll never find out for sure if i dont give it another chance. Luckily i'm still optimistic, i know the odds are completely against me but im looking forward to rushing again. have a nice day everyone! =)

Your reasons for dropping DO affect your chances next fall. It would be one thing to drop for "personal reasons" such as health, a death in your immediate family, etc. In fact, in those kinds of situations, it wouldn't be unheard of to re-pledge in the same chapter. Chapters do communicate with each other and new members who drop do get talked about among chapters. I don't think anybody is calling you out to be mean. They are trying to give you a realistic portrayal. You will need to be ready to answer the question "Why did you drop XYZ just two weeks into your new member period?" if you go through recruitment again.

I realize you're not hearing the answer you want to hear from us, but we're being realistic with you. While getting a bid isn't impossible, it's still pretty unlikely given the circumstances.
