I'm definitely happy you found your home, but I feel the need to note here that there are no guarantees with recruitment (you said "you will find a home.")

I'd hate for girls to read this and think "oh if I rush next year, I'll for SURE get a bid because FSUgreek did!" It is definitely worth a shot though.

I'm sure she meant "You may find your home" NOT that it was guaranteed?! Nothing in Recruitment is ever guaranteed as we all know.

But certainly that it was worth it for her the 2nd time around - maybe due to maturity? Idk?

I still think the actives should propose to FSU PH to adopt an upperclassmen quota like Alabama has and ICS provided computer programming for this year.

Exactly. The title also implies, "You should rerush because you'll get your dream house just like I did." And FSUCasper, we (as members of GLOs) know that there are no guarantees, but not all PNMs realize that.

Every year, plenty of PNMs rerush expecting better results next time. Better results don't happen the second time unless something has changed to make them a better candidate. Better grades, more friends in chapters, leadership on campus, better conversational skills, etc.

I'd like the OP to reflect on what she thinks she did better the second time to improve her results.
