Maybe his attitude is why he was dropped.

You and I----kindred spirits. I was thinking the same thing. It just seemed odd how he got snippy with her when she was asking a very basic and important question that I did not perceive to be the least bit nasty.
Also, I hope the OP will take the advice of LaneSig as he is wise regarding fraternities (among many other things). OP, please do what LaneSig says.

Its very possible that he didn't do anything wrong, that the fraternity gave out more bids than the size of the pledge class they wanted and dropped him to get down to that size or someone else came along they wanted more. This happened to a guy from my high school graduating class at UGA. He was given and accepted a bid at a summer party only to be told the day before formal bid day that he was dropped. He was never able to join another fraternity and became a bitter GDI.

Wow. This situation of the guy from your high school is horrible. That's a real pity that happened.

I don't know anything specific about MSU but in general big ten schools are far more open to second rushes than SEC type schools. If I were you I would give it a shot because if you don't you will never be in a fraternity. SO
Study hard & get top grades
Get involved in a student org but not a nerd one
Dress like a greek, not like a nerd
Don't rush the same house that dropped you
Don't target top tier houses, the ones that are most selective
Try and make friends with fraternity members but don't be a stalker
Don't talk about your crap experience to anyone
Don't mention your first rush during your second unless asked and if you are just say that you dropped out because as a stupid freshman the houses you rushed were not a good fit
Best of luck

Oh, OK... so LYING is the way to go? Because no one in another fraternity could possibly know the truth, right?
