Im a really nice girl and I have a lot of good qualities and I want the other soros to see that and not listen to what they hear from an offended chapter. Advice?

Are you sure all you ever wanted to do was "go greek?" Or did you really only want to go to one particular group? It seems to me if it was the former, then you would have accepted your bid and given it a shot. And based on your other post of really wanting to impress the ADPi's on your campus, you seem not to care about any of the other groups.

The only thing you can do is give it another shot and hope for the best. Depending on how competitive things are at your college, you might be able to get a different outcome. Be involved on your campus, and don't stalk or set your sights on one particular sorority.

Girls do this sometimes, and it seems desperate and creepy. I would definitely keep an open mind and do your best to improve your resume, conversation skills, rec letters, appearance, or whatever you feel you need to work on so you'll have a good shot at getting a bid. It will probably be harder for you as a sophomore, but if you really put in the effort hopefully things will work out! Be prepared for the worst, but hope and try for the best.

I really just want to be greek, no particular orginazation, but my aunt was an ADPi and she loved it. I really want the lasting bonds of sisterhood and girls that could be my future bridesmaids but the orginal chapter I got into had girls that were more in it for the title and to meet boys. I wanted more than that and I hope I can find it next year during rush
