stat rush tips?
by: sorority
Last year I rushed and was pretty demolished. It was annoying because random guys and girls hyped me up all year talking about how I’d get into a “top house” when I got ASA, and Dphie back the 3rd round. I dropped at that point because I didn’t like either of those houses.
I’m from Indiana but I was in a mental hospital for long periods of time so I didn’t establish many friends from high school that would’ve helped me for rush. I’ve made a lot of friends here but still want to try Greek life next year.
I’m not unattractive. That’s not the issue. My grades are fine. I thought maybe I was awkward considering I was butchered but when I talked to other girls that got many houses back, I talked about almost exactly the same things as they did.

People told you you'd end up in top houses because that's what you wanted to hear. Very few people are truly honest with people other than their closest friends, not even them sometimes.
It may or may not work out for you the second time around, but one good thing to look at is what will you do differently this time that you didn't do last time? You said you have made friends in houses, which is good. But have you made anyone in houses mad, as well? Have you avoided being sloppy drunk at events fraternity parties? Have you dated anyone's too recent ex-boyfriend? Spend first semester keeping your grades up, do some volunteer work, join a professional organization, get involved in something. Sophomores really can't fall back on high school activities, so you are going to have to have something on your resume.
Good luck, I hope it works out for you! :)

She sounds insufferable/entitled but the only houses that do informal are houses that most people don’t like

You made the mistake that so many do. You thought you were too good for the houses that you had left. What made you think you didn't like ASA or DPhiE? Did you accept the bid and spend a few months really trying to get to know them or did you make a superficial judgement? If you really want to be Greek, you should accept whatever bid you get and try and make it work. If you really don't like the members, after giving it an honest shot, you could always quit before initiation. Dropping sends a message that you are insecure and not a genuine individual.

I didn’t like ASA or DPHIE because I talked to 7+ girls in each and felt no connection with any of them.

Talking to 7 or so members for a few minutes each does not give you a real feel for a chapter. You have to have shared experiences, working and playing side by side to find out if it's a fit. You should have accepted a bid and gotten to know more people over a longer period of time. Out of a pc of 50-60 if you can't find a posse of really good friends, there is something wrong with you, not the chapter.

That's your fault for listening to total strangers. Why would you listen to someone who does not have a vote in membership selection in a house? Frat guys have no idea what chapters are looking for, neither do random strangers in your class. Your exceptions were not realistic, go into it this year with a more open mind and a more realistic outlook.
