Thank you to everyone giving helpful answers, I will definitely use your advice and not go into details of why it didn't work out. I feel like some people were being really negative towards me and I apologize for my faults of not knowing everything about terminology as I am obviously not in greek life right now. I understand that not putting the other sorority on my preference was "suicide" I was just told that suicide rushing was something different than you are saying it is, I was told that it is going in to rush only willing to join one sorority. That is why I didn't feel like I had done that, I just had incorrect information.

I like the other 4 sororities, not that I don't like the last one, I just always felt uncomfortable talking to them and knew that I wouldn't grow into it so I don't regret not putting them on my preference because if I had then I would've taken the spot from another girl that really wanted it. I'm sorry if it came across that I only wanted the sorority that isn't doing COB this semester, I was just stating a fact that prior to rush last semester they were my favorite, that's all. I would love to join any of the three I'm rushing this semester.

Since I rushed last semester, I have friends in all of the sororities and since last semester's rush I've had casual conversations with them and they even said they don't know why I wouldn't have gotten a bid because I do fit in well with them. I'm not saying I deserve to be in a sorority, it's just that that is the type of person I am and I've always gotten along with the girls when I hang out with them (I've hung out with a lot of them since rush). I suppose I just was nervous at rush and probably didn't come off like myself last semester but I feel much better and confident about it now knowing what I'm going through.

I do have another question though. I keep seeing what people are saying is important (grades, activities, appearance, etc) and I have a 3.8 GPA and a nice appearance (salon hair and nice clothes) but even though last year I was involved in a bunch of different activities-which is why I didn't rush last year, this year I have been more involved in music/theatre/opera (I am a music major). My question is, does it sound bad that I'm not really involved outside of music this semester even though I'm doing two operas and am in two choirs and all the other music stuff that comes with my major?
