If I was kicked out of a pledge class, can I rush other fraternities?

There has to be more to this. What the hell kind of house "withdraws" a bid due to one not too terrible incident. What the hell kind of house boots you out without any formal action where you get to offer mitigation. You paid for the tank lid 'cuz you were wasted and broke it? Damn, we blew up the john with cherry bombs and the result was that we had to clean up the mess and pay for a new one. The actives thought we were showing signs of coming together and they/we used photos of the blown up john for years after as part of 'party hearty' recruitment displays.
We probably would have checked you out as a good prospect once it was known that you were the guy who got sauced and busted up the john and then took responsibility and paid for repairs and so on. Every house has a couple of wild guys who know when to get crazy and when to cool it and fly right. If there isn't more to the story like you broke the tank cover over the pledge masters head or something worse you are probably better off away from that bunch of .....
Find a good house that you get along with and go for it if your school has COB. If not, rush again next opportunity. Good Luck!
