Rejected Candidate and Prominent Family Member at Institution

[Macintosh]

An update:

So I decided to talk to the one of the brothers again and see why: Aparently this brother gave me a reason which I'll now explain:

When I was talking to the brothers about pledging, I specifically wanted to know the time structure details of pledging so I can know how to adjust my schedule for certain days. For the fraternity I was checking they stated that pledging varies between days and that structure for each days varies.

Once again, thanks for the words of advice.

Go ahead and believe that if you want, but if they wanted you, they would have given you a bid. Your schedule is YOUR problem, not theirs.

I agree. If that was the issue why didn't they just talk to me about it? I honestly feel that they simply don't trust me and that it's not a proper excuse.

I have two more years and then I'm done at my college, hopefully going into a graduate program. If they can't trust me and I have to do a lot more to satisfy them, it isn't worth it.

I'll take BadCat25's words on this situation.

If you were a rushee they really wanted, your schedule wouldn't have been a big deal. Rush is about finding people who fit with the fraternity. You didn't fit.

Move on, because at this point you're just embarrassing yourself by asking why you didn't get a bid.

Word. The OP's behavior now is just reinforcing the guy's decision not to give him a bid. He's showing them they were right and really dodged a bullet.
