Rushing the Second Time around...

[pinapple]

The computer did not mismatch you. You simply were not high enough up on their list when matches were made. Call it a mis-match if it makes you feel better but the only "mis" is that you didn't get what YOU wanted, but I assure you the chapter got what they wanted. What did you expect the emails from the young women who made a connection with you to say? "Sucks to be you" or "We liked you, but I couldn't get X number of sister's to vote my way"? The ladies that reached out to you had to have an attachment to you to go out on a limb to contact you. But they are a drop in the voting bucket. It is just how it is. You simply were not high enough up on their list when matches were made. Call it a mis-match if it makes you feel better but the only "mis" is that you didn't get what YOU wanted, but I assure you the chapter got what they wanted.

Breaking up with a guy during rush does suck, but you need to really look deeply in the mirror and make sure you can present your best foot forward. Your GPA is stellar and if you get your attitude in alignment you can have a successful recruitment. But please understand that you are at extreme disadvantage as a sophomore and you need to adjust your expectations accordingly.

Absolutely. The girls who called you and told you this are only doing so because they 1) are going through formal rush as members for the first time, have zero clout in the sorority and are completely clueless as to how rush really works OR 2) they may want something from you in the future, and have been brought up to make sure no one is ever mad at them...whether that involves lying through their teeth or not.
