Hey everyone! This thread is pretty much what I've been thinking about alllll break...and I was hoping that I could get some insight from the Greek side
I am a sophomore transfer student. I went through Formal Recruitment this past August, and I had a BLAST during round 1. Round 2 came around and I didn't get called back to many houses at all, and I guess the hardest part was the majority of houses that I loved had released me. However, I kept trying to be optimistic and tried to block out all the tent talk that was going on. Eventually, all of the houses that I could see myself in and felt the most comfortable in had dropped me before prefs. I was so upset and disappointed that I dropped from recruitment. I then realized after talking to my Pi Chi that I had registered as a junior (credit-wise, I'm a junior, but I am only in my 2nd year of college). I didn't realize that that would be a factor that houses would consider...but now I know differently
. For the rest of the semester, I always questioned if I should have dropped - I guess, whether I would have been happy in the two houses that did choose to pref me, or what I could have done differently - putting my right class standing on my application, for one
. Spring Recruitment is coming up soon, and I have been trying to decide whether I want to rush again. I'm not sure what my chances are, being a second-semester sophomore. Furthermore, if the other houses didn't choose me for reasons other than my class standing, I'm not sure if I would want to put myself through that rejection again.
Any suggestions?
