<strong>Subject:</strong><br />didn't get a bid. now what?<br /><br /> Poster Message:
Background: Came to IU out of state not knowing a single person. My floor is ass and literally people don't speak to each other so making friends that way wasn't an option. Joined clubs and met people but most of them I didn't like because there are too many socially inept nerds in finance clubs. Made a few close friends I hang out with a lot but still wanted more social life. So I rushed two business frats and managed to get close to getting a bid without knowing anyone in them. Then I rushed social (again didn't know anyone in any houses) but didn't get a bid. Feeling kinda demoralized but wondering if I should take a chance on an unhoused/off campus frat? Even if I don't like it I can drop after pledgeship, right? Or should I just wait until next semester and rush the same business and social frats again? I'm assuming in the fall it doesn't matter as much if you know people in the frat because everyone is new (freshman) and aren't expected to know people in the house. Tl;dr Didn't get a bid at business or social frats so should I rush an off campus/unhoused frat? Is it worth it? Or should I just try again in the fall?
