Dropped as a Pledge

[ebdelt]

Every pledge class has individuals that are considered less desirable to have as littles. It's just the nature of the game, however there is no way you can be dropped because no one wanted you as their little. The way my fraternity does it, is that whoever has lowest pin rank in the pledge class (you are given a rank immediately before the initiation ceremony for how well you performed in pledgeship) has to take a twin or maybe even triplets if no one wants to take the last couple of pledges.

As far as your situation, no one here can really give you advice unless you give the full story. It sounds unfortunate but at the end of the day you did something that caused the active members to think you should be dropped. Warranted or not it happened. If this story about you and a girl at the party really occurred, I can imagine the scenario, if you crossed some boundaries. Was it really just dancing and making out? Did you try to force yourself on her or be disrespectful/sleazy toward her? Fraternities take their relations with sororities and the female population very seriously and if you are jeopardizing what people think of the fraternity as a whole, than you could be seen as a detriment to the fraternity's reputation and therefore dropped.

Yeah it sucks. I would be devastated if I was dropped during my pledgeship. The best thing I can say is to try to learn from this. Maybe there are some aspects of your personality you are exuding to others that you don't even see. I'd take some time for reflection, and maybe you can try to spring rush or rush in the fall with a different fraternity. You might have to rebuild your reptuation depending on the campus though.
