very pissed off right now

The sheet specifically stated that to be eligible a PNM must attend 8 out 12 parties. Also I did notify The Greek Life Officer prior to the beginning out recruitment that I had i class that I would not be able to miss. She said I was fine. I spoke with the Rho Chis and they said I would be ok. that's just where I was confused. Also I go to a small not so competitive school if that helps. I tried a few times after this happened to go to the Greek life coordinator but she keeps blowing me off and saying you can COB. I was willing to prove I attended the parties. Honestly, I would have rather been cut knowing no one wanted me rather than knowing there are people who could of wanted to invite me but couldn't because of this mistake

Didn't that already happen? Seems like your school keeps making "mistakes" and there are always extenuating circumstances with you. Just sayin'.....

I had just started there in jan and rushed in feb so I obviously did not know many people at school. Also my father passed away right after rush So I feel like it would have been bad timing for me to join if I had got a bid. But Honestly Is it worth rushing again in the fall. Do people hold it against you? I know its informal recruitment (not really sure exactly what the difference is). Is it worth it?

A few of the girls who where in sororities ( who I later on grew to know) told me that because of such a short recruitment many nice girls "fell through the cracks" I can't necessarily say it will kill me if i don't get a bid. I have had a lot of worse things happen to me this year. I guess I probably will rush again it can't hurt that much. Does anyone know how informal recruitment works though?
