If not, become involved in a student organization and leave greek life behind.

Agree 100%. As much as it hurts to be in your situation, but that's the truth. I really wish you all the best. I promise, this too shall pass, even though it stings right now.

Thanks. I guess it felt like a bad rejectance at best, betrayal at worst, even though they didn't have to (or need to) guarantee me a bid (although they did do that for some freshmen).

I will probably go through rushing again and look at other opportunities. Like I said before, maybe I'll re-look at the other fraternity that I passed up on as well as some of the other fraternities I didn't get to know well. I guess I'll also cut down on the specifics so I don't look like I'm trying to do any spying or anything like that. However, I'll playing the field as a Junior now instead of a Sophomore.

not a word, but I think I may use it from now on. Is rejectance the masculine form of rejectment?

I don't know about you, but I've never heard of anyone receiving a rejectance letter before..
