Oh, Enna, I am SO sorry. Please let us know if you do COB and whether you do or not, I hope you'll keep posting here. You are a very cool person, and I hope you keep in touch!!

So sorry!
Enna, I know how hard this is- trust me! I went through rush last year and was cut by all three houses the first day due to my GPA. It sucks really bad to be cut over something like that...but at least you know they didn't cut you because they didn't like you. I transferred schools and went through rush again just last week and I didn't get cut from a single house....did I expect that? NO! My point is, everything happens for a reason. In my case, had I gotten in a house at my first school I would have been unhapy. Now I am at a school I love and in a house I love. In your case, maybe greek life isn't a part of the plan. There is something more out there for you. Perhaps marching band holds something greater for you...you never know. Just remember that everything happens for a reason, and if you were meant to be greek, something unexpected will come up (such as COB) and if not, well then, there is something even better for you. Keep your chin up!!

Enna, I'm so sorry Rush is so arbitrary sometimes; I know there are ADPi's who wanted you at pref who are at least as disappointed as you are. Rushees and sisters both suffer disappointments during rush.
You are absolutely right, you don't need to be a greek to feel worthwhile. It sounds like you're making the most of your college career with all of your activities and, what's more, you sound like a great girl who got caught in a numbers game.
If you decide to give COB a whirl, please let us know how it went!

Enna, I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope you do give COB a chance. Hopefully things will work out for you, it sounds like you are taking this so well. You're right, and from your comments it really sounds like you would have been a great sorority member. Hopefully you'll have the opportunity to find out sometime in your future.
Best of luck with band! My son has started band this year in intermediate school. He's playing clarinet with the hopes to switch to sax as soon as we'll allow him to do so. Please keep in touch though, your insight and comments are always welcome here.
All my best,
Christin

Clearly, any of us here would be thrilled to be able to call you our sister. Rush can just plain old stink. One of my pledge sisters was a legacy to two other houses and got cut by both after preference. (Pi Phi has a wonderful rule that if you're a legacy and we invite you back to preference, you're on the first bid list.) She was the roommate of the girl who became my big sister, and we snapped her up. In the end, it all worked out the way it was supposed to. It will for you, too, whether or not you go Greek. You need to go buy yourself a stack of magazines, some new makeup, whatever makes you feel spoiled, and pamper yourself.

Enna - thanks for letting us know what's going on. I know it is really hard right now but don't let this affect how you feel about yourself.
You seem to have a lot going for you are welcome here even if you do not ever pledge a sorority while at USC.

Enna, I'm sorry that you didn't get invited back to any pref parties. I'm happy to read that it hasn't shaken your confidence. Unfortunately, it happens to some outstanding young women. I strongly encourage you to go to all of the COB parties. You can still get a bid. Many of my sisters came through COB.

I'm so sorry!
Like everyone else in the GC community, I'm really saddened by your last update. Thank you for sharing your recruitment story with us, but I encourage you to stick around GC. I also hope that you will go COB. Keep your head high; your attitide has been nothing short of admirable!
