Thank you Prospectiverushee. And thanks to every one who supported me. I guess there is always next semester

This really sucks...I'm so sorry Billy. This process just doesn't seem fair sometimes. People who would give their hearts don't get a bid, and those who just want to be a t-shirt wearers seem to have no problems getting in...

Billy,

When you're down and out lift up your head and shout...."I'M DOWN AND OUT!!"

I'm sorry things did not go as you'd hoped. Keep your chin up and look to next semester.

Billy, sorry to hear it didnt work out for you. Just keep trying

At least next time you'll have more experience behind you. God works in mysterious ways. Have you thought of transfering to VT?

I would like to thank everyone for your words of support. You guys rock!

Kevin, yeah, I've thought of transfering. I don't think VT though. Maybe GMU or William and Mary. Who knows?

Billy,

You might think about W&L its a good school and its got a good greek system. Hampton-Syndey is another

Kevin,

What is W&L? I've never heard of that.

Billy,

Washington & Lee University in Lexington, Virginia near VMI. Its a good school. You should check their website out.

Billy,

I'm so sorry to hear about this! I've been there, and I know it sucks royally. If you think you can try again next semester, go for it!

Billy,

Sorry to hear. Don't worry, there will always be another time to rush.

Hey Billy, I am really sorry, but one thing my friend told me is that sometimes you have to lose to appreciate the win. Hope it makes sense. And we hope to hear about you rushing next year as well.

Billy Optimist · #43 02-07-2001, 05:49 PM

thanks everyone. I'll deal with it. Does anyone have any advise on how to make next rush better?

PKSkull · #44 02-07-2001, 06:06 PM

The best thing you could do right now is remain in contact with the houses you are interested in. In other words go to their social and philantropy events and become friends with some of the pledges/brothers. This way the houses will rember you and how much you want to be a part of what they do when the next rush rolls around.

Hey Billy,

Sorry to hear you didn't receive a bid

I'm sure it's their loss. Stay optimistic!

I graduated from VT in 1998.

If you transfer, think about VT. It is a great school. Ok, I'll admit I'm biased, but it really is. William and Mary is a really good school also. My bf went there and he's always bragging about it.
