Hon, you would be amazed at how many people are actually not good rushers. Some of the most well-liked girls in my sorority are AWFUL at Formal Recruitment situations. If a girl is floundering, we do bail them out, but we expect them to learn and jump back in eventually.
You are right in that you won't ever get the experience if you're always pushed to the back. And for that matter, neither will anyone else who isn't a natural rusher. I'm one of our strongest rushers but I always make sure to help the girls who aren't naturally inclined. You are only as strong as your weakest member. Definitely talk to someone because you obviously want to be better.
And most of all, you are not letting your sorority down. If you threw a fit and stomped around when they asked you to step aside, then I'd say that maybe you were. But you obviously want to improve yourself for the sake of the sorority, and that makes you an absolutely amazing member.
The two PNMs to two rushers is an excellent idea for weaker rushers. I'm actually going to suggest that come August when we're preparing for Formal. Thanks ladies.
