I have siblings who are Greek at different schools, friends who are Greek, and they gave me their best advice and tips--mainly to go in and give each house a chance. Unfortunately for me, I was dropped and the rest of the quarter really went downhill for me. Seeing all my dormmates get bigs & littles, go to their events, and bond with their sisters was really, really hard and lonely.
This year, there are some invite-only informal recruitment events and a sweet friend of mine nominated me to go. I don't think I can go through the feelings of being rejected and dropped by every house again, and informal rush is really competitive. And unfortunately, sophomores at my school rarely get into sororities during formal rush in the spring (most of the sororities flat out don't accept sophomores and transfers). I am wondering if I could get some insight or advice on whether or not I should go through with it, because this is my almost last chance.
Thanks  |
This is not how recruitment works. I'm sorry you were dropped, but even on the most competitive campuses (and they aren't on the west coast) chapters don't "take" less than half of PNMs. Read a little on the recruitment forum and you'll understand the process a little better. Informal may be a more laid back atmosphere for you, but depending on the chapter, they may have very few open spots to go around. That being said, you'll never get a bid if you don't try.
