Informal Recruitment Questions..

[LadyKnight]

Hello all,

I have been considering trying to join a sorority as long as I've attended college. However, my first school did not have any Greek organizations and when I transferred to my new university I did not immediately try to join because I was afraid that I would be too old to be considered. I am now a college junior (senior if you go by number of years) but to make things simple, a college junior. I have at least two more semesters left at my college to finish my minor and my honors thesis research and whatnot.

That being said I'm only really interested in one house, the one house who is actually openly participating in informal recruitment. I have a few friends in the house already, two of which I'm fairly close with and a couple that have the some classes with me. I have attended every posted event since I expressed interest in joining the organization, but have yet to receive a bid...actually no one has according to my one close friend in the sorority. They recently moved the bid day back because of a lack of girls and now there's no listed date. I feel that I've really connected with a lot of the girls, I mean the majority know my name and seem very nice. My close friend who is in the sorority has also talked to a lot of the girls and they seem to like me and haven't heard anything bad about me. However, I was dropped from the facebook group for the spring recruitment. I talked to the VP of membership, she said it must've been a mistake and not to worry about anything. Upon trying to rejoin I was denied, so the question is am I wasting my time in trying to join this sorority?

I really like their philanthropy, their colors, their motto, the girls in the sorority and from the girls I've talked to I've done nothing wrong. I deleted all photos on facebook that pictured me with any drink that could be considered alcoholic, even though I am over 21 and rarely ever drink I do attend friends parties where drinking occurs. All of that being said I have a really good GPA (3.7), lead study groups, am active in events and clubs that I belong to...so I'm kinda confused about the whole thing. Any and all advice would be most appreciated. Thank you ladies. =D

Edit: My one friend in the house has told me (Against the rules, but she's too sweet to not try to help) that she gave me a stunning vote and that she mentioned that I would be willing to live in the house, which I am. I don't know if this will influence my acceptance or not. I do know that they have at least one completely open room at the house this semester.
