still wondering what i did to get rekt
by: YikesIdk how to use this site so I hope it works but I have a 3.4, sophomore girl, wasn’t only shooting for top tiers, in fact I liked a lot of sororities that are down to earth and that aren’t as well known and my second rounds I was convinced I killed it with those but got dropped from everyone except one that I’ll leave unnamed but, has an awful rep and I know has no real sisterhood (3 of my friends DAed) and I didn’t want that level of not closeness in a sorority. My small talk skills are decent from serving but I received heavy cuts first rounds which is a lot small talk. I get it if you’re a socially inept mouthbreather, but it’s like... I actually had some good conversations. I don’t post risky pics so that’s not it either. And I’m not bad looking, rude, or unhygienic. I expressed that the main thing I was looking for was a close knit group of girls who did good for the community (having a thon family, philanthropy etc) not just what movies portray and I seriously wanted to prove that greek life is more than partying. How could that possibly be a turn off? I knew a few ppl in each bc sophomore but that didn’t help I guess. Not saying any houses owe me anything but I still have no idea what I did wrong and keep beating myself up over it a week later. If somebody just told me it’d hurt my feelings but at least I’d know.

Idk about your experience but IMO the whole rush process is kinda random and stupid. I visited many frats and, like you, thought I made good impressions. Average looking, well groomed and clean, dressed well, showed interest, talked to people, but idk. Maybe frats/sororitys are more hesitant to take in PNMs that don't already know someone in the frat/sorority. Maybe it's something else, cuz I honestly have no other explanation. Maybe someone else does, but I don't. I wanna rush again next semester but am fearful that the same thing will happen. Maybe I go to less frats to spend more time in each one? Idk, if someone can give advice/reasons, go ahead, but I got nothing.

Sorry that this is still bothering you a week later. No one can really answer this for you because no one was listening to all of your conversations. The process is really a numbers game. It is very superficial. I have super cool friends that were cut by many of what are considered "top" chapters and know some dumb mean girls that got bids to higher tier chapters. It does not reflect on the quality of you as a person. Go to informal events for chapters that are having them in the fall. These are much more relaxed and present an opportunity to spend more time talking to girls. Good luck.

I'd try again. If you're lucky enough to get a bid to any house, understand that they have smart,great women who will become your sisters and share a lifelong bond with you. Don't listen to anyone who talks about tiers. No one cares and you don't want to miss out. Same for frats.
