^ What IrishLake said.

If a chapter is badmouthing you because they offered you a bid and you declined it, that reflects badly on them. At my school, everyone (actives participating in rush and alums helping out) had to pass a simple written test before they'd be allowed on the floor. The first question was always, "What is the most important rule of rush?" The answer was "To show goodwill towards all other chapters and their members" (or words to that effect - "goodwill" was the keyword).

I haven't read your other posts outside this thread. If "all [you] ever wanted to do was go greek" - you had the chance and you turned it down. If you went into rush with preconceived ideas of which chapter(s) you would join or not join, that contradicts your statement that you "just want to go greek" - it's more than letters on a t-shirt, for crying out loud. If you went in with your heart set on one chapter, and they cut you - that's life - rejection happens, it hurts, get used to it, and if being cut from your favorite chapter is your first experience with rejection, you're damn lucky.

Do rush next year if you choose, but keep an open mind as you do so. You will be going in with the cards stacked against you.
