Gosh, I know your heart must really be racing right about now. You have to sit down and really think hard about what you want to do, because it will take a full year for you to be able to rush again if you don't get into the house you're seeking. You said that one of the 3 houses was decent, right? Take a long hard look at them.
When I was rushing, we only had three sororities on campus, 2 national, 1 local. I knew I wanted to be national, and when I went into rush, I thought I knew which house I wanted. But then the other house began to look appealing too.....Then I thought, What am I doing? I know that house 1 is the right one for me. I was letting the glitz and frills of house 2 cloud my vision. And you know what? Months after I was initiated into house 1, house 2 began to fall apart. All is was was squawballing....I'm so glad I made the choice I made. Stop for a second and try to look beyond the parties. Look at the people. How they act together - were they putting on an act, or were they real? Then ask yourself if you can wait. You can always decide to RUSH in the Spring, which is what I did, or find out if there is what is call "Informal Rush", which is what happens when the ceiling (or Cap) isn't met, or girls de-pledge. This is a more intamite form of rushing, and could quite possibly get you into the house you're aching for.
