didn't get a bid. now what?

Can't hurt to rush an underground/ rogue fraternity. At least you will be guaranteed a bid. They take anyone will arms, legs, heart beat and a pulse.

Honestly rush the unhoused. Check them out and the worst case is that you don’t like it and don’t go back. Best case is you end up in one of the fraternities

Honestly spring is the semester where people who don't have connections get bids. Fall is much more competitive and connections are key

I would recommend coming back in the fall if you’re heart is really in it but you also seem super judgmental and a little too arrogant based off this post. I know lots of guys in houses that knew no one and still got in places through networking, sometimes that nerdy finance kid is roommates with a top tier. Just be more open if you do and don’t sacrifice being in an unhoused if you’re only doing it for reputation. Try to find brothers you vibe with for who you are

I agree with the last post. You sound super judgmental. I came from OOS and pledged both a business frat and a social frat. Pledging both are super competitive and I knew no one in either. But, I didn't go into the process thinking that people were inept nerds or losers. I put myself out there and tried getting to know people. I would recommend that you do a quick attitude adjustment and go for whatever houses are still rushing. Being unhoused does not make for a lesser brotherhood. If you don't like it, you can always try next year. But, I would not expect different results until you get that air of superiority off your shoulder. You are probably a decent buy but this post makes you sound like an a-hole.
