well here is an update for everyone. I did get recs for all but one sorority. I went from 16 to a full 12 the next round to just 3 the next round and the same 3 the next round. I was open to two of the three I had left, the last I just honestly didn't see myself in and sororities are a big financial cost so I wouldn't spend money to be a part of something I don't feel I fully would enjoy and fit in with. I really had a great conversation with a girl in one of my top two and even talked about her helping me find my classes and how we had a class in common and we had similar interests. She did the whole I really see you fitting in here, you have the personality we look for, and I am excited for you bit. and I had a good conversation with my second choice as well. So I just put two down at computer selections as I know I would not be happy in my third option and wouldnt want to risk being unable to cob or spring rush as I personally would not want to wait a year and go through rush again as a junior if I ended up getting a bid to my third choice as I would drop out right there. Well this morning I found out I have been released as neither of the two I put down picked me. I am upset because I had a such a good conversation with the girl in my number one and i liked the chapter, I had a good rec letter for my number one from an alumnae who has known me and my family for a long time and a rec letter for my number two from someone i did not know personally, and both chapters (my number one and two) arent considered "top tier" or extremely competitive and except sophomores and have done cob/spring recruitment in the past. I had over a 4.0 high school gpa, good ap scores, solid ACT and SAT scores, sport involvement in high school, a leadership position in high school, club and community service involvement in high school, and over a 3.0 college gpa with sport involvement at my college. I'm not sure if I'll go through with cob if i have the opportunity to do so or choose to or spring rush. I am just upset and kind of shocked because I had a really good conversation with the girl in my number one. Well it is what it is.
