Depledging and rerushing: advice

[KDCat]

You should go into the process hoping for the best and expecting the worst. It is entirely likely that every single chapter will cut you. In their eyes you have demonstrated that you are not certain that being in a GLO is for you. They aren't wrong. You still sound very uncertain. They have no way to know that another group will make you happier and that you will stick with it on the second round.

If you need to say something about it, you should focus on being overwhelmed by all of your commitments as a freshman and how you have a much better handle on everything now. The emphasis should be on YOU -- what was wrong with YOU last year and how YOU have changed for the better. You can't badmouth your former chapter during rush.

You need to decide before rush whether you want a bid from your former chapter or not. If you want to go back to that chapter, you need to tell them straight up that they are your first choice. Your big needs to know whether she should be pulling for you or not. If you don't want them, then tell them so they can cut you early and you focus on the chapters that you do want. You owe it to them to be very clear about your intentions. Don't play them by keeping them in your back pocket while you look for a group that you like better. You should assume that you aren't going to get a better match with any other group.
