rush

by: Freshmen guy

So I didn't like my options with fraternities this semester. I was given bids to fraternities that I don't necessarily want to join, and not given bids to fraternities I do want to join. Is it a mistake to wait until next semester and re-rush the fraternities I didn't get a bid too? Will it be harder cuz they already said no? Thanks

don't join a house you don't want to. But, if you didnt get a bid from a house this semester, it was probably for a reason (unless you just didnt meet that many people, or none of the guys on the rush committe). Its up to you, but if you weren't noticed by a house this time, you probably won't be again and they may even wonder why you're back again.

Even if you're not going to rush the same fraternities again, don't accept the bid if you do not want to sincerely join. It is not a bad idea to take a semester to look around again and meet more guys. There are plenty of guys who join their sophomore or junior years, you will not feel any different from people who joined as a freshman. Don't just join a fraternity because you want to be a part of Greek life, join it because you like the specific fraternity.

Don't settle. If you didn't like it now, you're not going to like it later. Seriously try next semester. You have a way better shot, since all the frats will be recruiting sophomores and by that point some people decide not to join.

Thanks everybody. All the members in the fraternities thought I was chill, they just told me it was a numbers thing. I'm thinking it'll be easier next semester cuz it'll be less competitive

It'll probably be more competitive. You'll have less slots for a less people (but still a lot of people). You can do it; a lot of people do. But fall rush is harder than spring.

The rush chairs told me that they'd love for me to rush in the fall. That's a good sign right?

Rush the same place if you want, but do not solely rush there again. Numbers usually arent that important. One guy wont ruin a chapters numbers. Many recruitment chairs use that as an excuse so he doesn't have to tell the pnm that he wasn't well liked by the fraternity. If they genuinely liked you odds are they would've given you a bid. Definitely check out different fraternities if you are going to rush again.
