Is rushing out of the question for me?

WE. DON'T. KNOW.

As for "laughing stalk", I made a joke out of it. It was funny and made me laugh. You really need a thicker skin if you are putting yourself out there.

People that react this way to OPINIONS make me wonder why I bother helping at all. I gave you general advice because it is a general question. Next time, I'll think twice before offering practical advice. You obviously don't want it.

I was not being facetious about the "laughing stalk" bit, I laughed at myself as well.

I understand that you can not predict the future, especially if you don't have much information. I will try to reword this once again: I'm trying to get other people's first reactions to my reasons for not rushing initially, does it give off the impression that I just don't care?

No, I will not let anything on this forum sway my decision to rush or not, but a few helpful tips would be nice. And the heads up that I need to explain my "delay in becoming a PNM" in a different way, in order to put it in a better light, would be nice. I'd rather make the mistakes on a forum than during rush week.

And I am merely annoyed that I am told over and over again to read the other threads when it has already happened...

We really can't say how someone else is going to react to you not rushing until junior year.

If you go to a school where alot of students go Greek and recruitment is competitive, it might raise an eyebrow that you waited so long.

At others, it's no big deal. As far as tips and advice for recruitment, this thread has tips and advice for days. Happy reading:

It's like:

PNM: Question
GCer: previous threads or polite answer
PNM: OMGWTFBBQ

I wouldn't have pulled out the grill for the WTFBBQ if had received a polite answer. If you will try reading the original post, you will see very clearly that I have already stated that I have read the similar threads.

What part of WE DON'T KNOW don't you understand? If I had a crystal ball, I'd be using it to predict winning lottery numbers instead of your chances of getting into a sorority.

There are plenty of helpful tips out there, and that have already been given. If you don't like what you were told, well, that's your problem.

If YOU DON'T KNOW, STOP POSTING! Maybe you people only read bold/capitalized lettering?

Thank you, this is something that I haven't read yet and I'm sure it will have some stuff that can help me. I appreciate it.

I can post wherever I feel like.

If you're too stupid to understand that none can predict your success or failure during recruitment, then yes, rushing is out of of the question for you since you can't understand such a simple concept.

It's not a kddani not knowing type of thing, it's a no one knows type of thing.

Since we don't know, stop asking! Maybe you're having trouble with basic reading comprehension.
