Rushing as a Junior

[DubaiSis]

All you can control is how YOU handle the situation. You may have to have a more personal conversation than most of the girls around you, but it is what it is. Try to be as gracious as you can, and if you are in contact with any girls in that particular chapter now, I would try to let them know (now, not during rush - that's a rush infraction) how you feel. But not at the first day party - too awkward and you don't know if your rusher knows you or your story and it could open a whole can of worms you don't want squirming around.

Be nice, don't lie, and you don't have to vomit out your whole life story. Less is more when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Well, I did it. I turned in my application for recruitment! I knew that I would regret not trying more than being upset if things dont work out. Things didn't work out last year and I survived, so I know I can do it again. I will try to keep you guys posted on what happens!

Quick Question
I remember when I was looking over the different posts this summer finding a post that was talking about Suicide Bids and how sometimes if you do that you get kicked out of consideration for COBing....and they suggested writing down your first choice and then another sorority that you would have absolutly no chance or receiving a bid from because you had been dropped by them a few days ago....but of course I can't find that post. I just wanted to check....is that something that actually works? Like, if I know I really dont' want my second choice would writing another one down that I haven't visited in a few days actually work? I'm not at that point yet in recruitment, but I've just been thinking about all my options and wanted to check.

If you do not list all chapters at which you attend pref, you are still eligible for COB, you are not eligible to be a QA. Writing down a chapter at which you did not pref is the same as SIP'ing. You will not fool anybody.

All that said, in your position, you should really try to be open to any bid in what is probably your last chance to go Greek.

I mentioned that ages ago with computer programs that are antiquated now.

In your position, where you have already gotten dropped from all but one of the chapters in your previous rush, it isn't going to fly.
