I wasn't looking for a top chapter. I was looking for a right fit and if the more "awkward" chapters is where I end up next year I can decide what to do then.

Translation: If I have to settle next year to be Greek, I will, but now, I still think I have a chance with my fave chapters.

OP, your chances with your fave chapters are gone. Forever. You'll be lucky to get a bid from either of the two you "didn't connect with" next year. If you're willing to accept a bid from one of those chapters NEXT year like you say, why wouldn't you pursue your chances with them THIS year?

I'm sorry but I don't really appreciate the way you're giving out your advice. I do thank you for taking the time to explain everything because I'm very new to the Greek community. I'm really thankful that everyone that's posted in this thread has taken the time to tell me to go through informal recruitment so that I will have a chance to see what the Greek sisterhood is like. When informal recruitment comes around I will definitely go and check it out. I know the events for informal recruitment are more intimate and I hope to get a better idea of what the chapter is like.
