dropped from my favorites

by: Got dropped?    

I am crying, after having what I thought were amazing connections and conversations with people I spoke to, I got dropped from my top three choices, AOPI, DG, and Theta. It sucks because girls i KNOW who are not interested got asked back. ;,(

Lots of people are going through this, so it's not just you! Try to stay positive and look at the houses you got back as compliments that they like you so much they want to get to know you even better! Hold your head up high and stay confident! Through my experience everyone always ends up happy in the end! Just keep going through rush and pref and go to bid day, and you might be suprised how much you love the house you got! If, for any reason, you end up not being totally happy in a house you can always drop it before initiation and re-rush the next fall.

Also, I think it is important during rush to show how much you like and want to be part of a chapter. Tell them how much you are enjoying the time you are spending with them during rush. Being honest and genuine goes a long way!

I got dropped from every single house I wanted when I rushed and ended up with a bid to the last house on my list. I decided to give it a chance and here I am starting my senior year. I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. Trust the process and everything will work out fine!

What everyone else said is totally accurate ... I hate how websites like TFM/TSM write some articles that may seem like their is a big emphasis on tiers, hot houses, best pledge classes, but in reality, and in alumni world none of that matters. I thought all that BS mattered when I rushed my freshmen year. I had my very top favorite house left one I was so sure of that I was going to get a bid to one that was "a better house" and had girls the "best frats" hung around. Then on the complete other end was a house that was what I thought at the time very average..not horrible... But I didn't think they had the sparkle or the rep my other house did. Long story short after this girl did everything but help me pick out my room number in the better house ... Come bid day that sorority wasn't on my bid card the other one was. Needless to say I was heartbroken I cried, I was pissed, I threw a tantrum that was extremely childish. I stuck it out though and it gives me chills to think about how much that "lower" chapter meant to me. I couldn't have imaged college without those girls and even though we're alum now we're still ridiculously close. Every house has gorgeous girls, every house has bad eggs, every house has party girls , girls who study, girls who are super involved on campus etc. Keep an open mind for the love of God. I was so close to dropping but i put my ego aside left all the stereotypes at the door and REALLY gave the girls and my chapter the chance they deserved.

The only losers in this process are the girls who can't move on from rejection and end up dropping out of recruitment. They learn throughout the year how much fun all of their friend are having no matter what house they pledged. Take this opportunity to make meaningful connections your freshman year. Don't be one of those girls who listens to tent talk or thinks you are too good for XYZ chapter. Embrace the houses that have invited you back and forget about the ones that haven't. You are now in a big pond surrounded by the most talented women in the SEC! Go Gators and Go Greek!

It's not the end of the world. It's just that they didn't think you would fit in in their sorority. I mean would you want to be a sorority that doesn't even want you or consider you an asset to their chapter? Me optimistic with the choices you have and see how it plays out

I actually did end up dropping out of recruitment because the one house that pref'd me, I couldn't imagine myself in, not because the girls weren't sweet but my heart just wasn't in that one house that pref'd me back. Now, I'm not a "loser" for dropping out of recruitment because I didn't want to devote all my time and money to the chapter I didn't feel right in, and I actually am happy I dropped out at least for this first semester. I am applying for leadership roles in my business college, I took a language placement test today for 2 hours and afterwards thanked my lucky stars I didn't have Preferentials today because I would have not been able to focus on getting into a higher level class. Now, if springtime comes or next fall comes and I really decide I want to rush again, I will. And if I don't, I won't. I'm not a loser either way, and I'm actually better off not doing sorority this year. So just remember that there are other options out there, and to keep an open mind and an open heart :)

This is perfection. To PNM - way to do what you in your heart felt was right, rather than what everyone expected. In changing your mind and deciding not to sign on the dotted line you have made your exit gracefully and maturely left the drama behind you.
