One thread about how you were too good for Tri Delta, Alpha Chi Omega, and Gamma Phi Beta at CU is good enough, thanks.

AXO, tridelt, and Gphi all have good things going for them.
I would just prefer to be in other houses if I have the choice. Everyone has their preferences.

I think your choice is even more limited than you believe now.

Indeed...See my signature, courtesy of SWTXBelle (a fine member of GPhi, if I'm not mistaken).

aside: Holy Cow, if this poster is not a troll, she gets today's award for "cutting your own throat in recruitment".

The 3rd day I got dropped from Pi Phi and Alpha Phi so I decided to drop rush because I didn't think the houses were for me.

I'm going to be a sophmore next year and am thinking about rushing again.

1) How much harder is it to rush as a sophmore?

2) Is rushing a second time going to disadvantage me?

3) Should I say that It's my second time rushing on my app or not mention it? What should I tell sororities why i dropped rush? (truth is i didn't like the houses I got)

4) I will have a 3.0/ 3.1 going into rush this time. Is that GPA high enough to get into Chi O, KKG, Pi phi, Alpha Phi, and/or DG?

Thanksssss!!!

I will answer your questions.

1. It is harder. You have to be the total package. VERY good college grades plus loads of activities especially for top tiered chapters which seem to interest you the most. Most women who are close minded like you seem to be have a harder time. Chapters already have a BIG sophomore class they are looking for Freshman because they are the future of the Chapter. You have to be outstanding to get a bid as a sophomore. But hey, maybe they will see something different in you this year.

2. It can be a disadvantage. Some Chapters will auto release any one that has gone through and they have released in the past. You should have finished out recruitment the first time. You may have found out that you really did enjoy one of the Chapters you didn't prefer.

3. You don't need to mention it. We know.

4. I don't know what those Chapters minimum GPA's are or any thing about their membership selection. I personally think you have more to worry about then GPA if you weren't involved in campus life and we don't care about what you did in HS.

Hope this helps. Good luck. I think you will need it.

LOL I wonder if it's worse to not see yourself fitting in or not remembering a sorority at all?

*yawn* Just because you post the same crap in another forum doesn't mean that we forget about the original post. No matter where you post this, you'll get the same response, unless of course you go to rainbow pony land. I'm sure they will tell you how SPECIAL you are, and how the women of the chapters you listed can't wait to have you as a sister. And how magnificent your GPA is. Of course they would just be blowing sunshine up your ass. Sorry.

Being very familiar with the Colorado Greek system:

1. A lot.
2. Yes.
3. No.
4. Probably not.

A 3.0 is a good GPA, but not great especially for a second timer. Your choices will be limited. Chapters at CU are big, you couidn't know the entire chapter and so I have no idea why you are knocking off amazing chapters. I know women who are in every single chapter at CU and it's crazy that you are discounting HALF the chapters especially at the size of the chapters. Aside from grades, why should they like you anymore this time than last time?

For those who care, Theta there is amazing. Never met a women I didn't absolutely love and their house is great too!

Didn't they have a fire this past year that caused extensive damage? Does anyone know when they'll be able to move back in?

There was a fire that burned the attic. The rest of the house was damaged by water. It happened December 19. The majority of women were able to live in again in January.

This post wasn't meant to offend anyone! I'm sorry if it came off that way, but I can see how it did. I came on this forum to get input from people anonymously, that's all.

coloradobuffs · #14 08-07-2012, 06:07 PM

I would love the be in theta but i know more girls in the other houses, so I feel like that might help me out a little

Translation: I finally figured out how this ridiculous public behavior will affect my rush.

Yes, because that helped you out so much the first time around. If you know so many people in your "I fit in" houses, why did you come here to put your butt on public display?
