I did not know about this until after I rushed, but a friend told me since the Rugby team hosts mixers with sororities and sometimes give fraternities a "run for their money" could be the reason why I did not get a bid. There are three guys on the Rugby team who are in fraternities and rushed their chapters. Rugby is a Club Sport at my school.

In addition, since I rushed at the last minute; I did not know what fraternity life is about. After learning more about the brotherhood concept after I rushed, I started to reconsider the idea of rushing again since I put my teammates first and treated them as brothers when I played football in high school. I don't like the concept of individualized success.

Since some of your teammates are fraternity members, you might want to speak to them about how they handled rush, the questions they asked, etc. Let them know what happened and ask for advice for going through rush in the fall. Two benefits: (1) They know you, the campus, and the fraternities on campus so they can give you better advice then we can. (2) This will also let them know that you are going through rush and they can give their chapters information on you as a person that the chapters didn't have in the last rush.
