How to Act in a House you Don't Like

AUGreekPNM - do I understand this correctly?

1. You go to a small mid-Atlantic college now and went through recruitment there this year.
2. You are planning to transfer to Auburn University and go through recruitment there Fall 2014.

Is that correct?

No, I go to a small public mid-Atlantic school. The AU part has nothing to do with my school, they're my initials. I've never attended Auburn or American, nor am I planning to. I didnt really think that my initals would be mixed up as a school. Sorry for any confusion.

I deleted the original question because it didn't come out right-basically I'm giving rushing another chance and want any advice on how to act in the chapter I turned down so it's not awkward and I don't seem rude. I definitely don't view myself as being better than any chapter!

But you would still not accept a bid from the chapter whose bid you rejected last year, right? Not that I think they would ever consdier extending another bid to you.....

If I felt the same as last year than no. But as mentioned on other threads, if I feel differently this year and they give me a bid, I'll accept it. I'm trying to go in opened minded and not expect anything.

Quick clarification: are you meaning to say: if they make you feel differently during recruitment? You've been at this campus for a year, wouldn't you know more about them than what a PNM is able to glean from recruitment? Are you solely basing your opinions of organizations on a campus you have been at for a while off of a few days and pageantry?

I know them a little bit better and am friendly with a few of the girls. However I want to get a sense of how they are as a whole-how they interact, if they seem excited, etc. The same goes for all the sororities I'll be rushing.

I am thinking that as a sophomore re-rusher who was cut by all but 1 sorority, you may not get to leisurely observe all these groups and decide what you think of them. Your choices may be extremely limited early on.
