Well, you either deal with it, or, uh, you transfer.
But again, college disappointments are not unique to the Greek system. At Wisconsin, there are several majors (nursing, journalism, business, education, etc.) that you have to apply to during your sophomore or junior year and be accepted into the program in order to actually major in them. Some of them are notoriously difficult to get into -- most people in the school of education have a 3.7+ GPA. One of my friends applied to the nursing school here during her sophomore year, but also to the nursing school at Oklahoma, where she was guaranteed to get in, just in case Wisconsin didn't work out. Fortunately it did, but many others aren't so lucky. I have another friend who applied to the business school, didn't get in, and had to change his major. He doesn't regret it, thank god, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who do.
