Rushing as a Junior

Even at non-competitive schools, a re-rushing Junior who did previously receive a bid would have a very hard time. Unless something has dramatically changed for the better in the last year. If you decide to rush, make sure you are truly emotionally prepared to not receive any bid this time.

I didn't go to a very competitive school, but I only ever met one girl who got a bid, depledged, re-rushed, and received another. She was best friends with SEVERAL women in the chapter that gave her a bid the 2nd time (like, she lived in an apt with 3 of them and 2 of them were her best friends from HS.) Any other woman who depledged and re-rushed went bidless.

I feel like it's one of those things where chapters have to know you in order to want to give you a 2nd chance when you already declined/depledged/whatever elsewhere.

PS. I find computer glitch stories to be hilarious. I once overheard a girl saying "I was thisclose to getting a bid to ABC, but something happened with the computer where it kicked off all the girls with names starting with M. So I ended up getting kicked off their list and getting a bid to XYZ instead." Riiight.
