rerush after dropping pledging

by: Curious

I am also done pledging and I am not in love with my sorority. If I drop before I initiate, what are my chances of getting in a better sorority next year if rush again?

First, you need to give it more time. Less than a few weeks isn't enough time to get to know enough girls to make a smart decision. It's like saying you've met someone and they didn't become your best friend instantly, so it's not worth trying to be friends. Bonding takes time, just no shortcuts and if you thought getting a bid meant instant friendships, then I think you'd find the second time around just as hard.

Second, girls who drop and then re-rush don't get into a 'better' sorority (with very rare exception) because if a house dropped you once, they almost always do again (and some houses have a once cut, always cut rule). In fact, girls who re-rush sometimes/often wind up being dropped by all sororities or have only one house left and it's a house they don't like.

And last, when you drop and re-rush, it sends a message to a house that you might not fully commit. We don't like to pledge girls who are that quick to quit.

I was in your exact spot two years ago. I couldn't seem to find my place, however I decided to stick it out for at least a year and I am so glad I did. First volunteer and participate in everything you can afford time for. I promise there are people just like you who are looking for someone to connect to, and the only way you are going to meet them is to get in there and try to meet them. There is probably at least 300 to 400 girls in your sorority and if you can't find friends in that large of a number than you probably aren't really trying. If you decide to quit you will miss out on a full year of Greek Life at Ole Miss.

I bet if you get out of your Momma's basement you could make some friends too.

"during rush they kept saying go all the way thru and take the house you get and give it a chance and if you don't like it you can always drop before initiation and re rush or maybe get a cob but now everyones says you have no chance at another house if you drop. I feel like I should have dropped before pref now. why didn't people tell us this to begin with"

Because most girls - when they stick it out and reallllly try (which I truly wonder if you are given you're in a house with hundreds of girls and if you can't find friends over time in a place like that, then I question your efforts and attitude) wind up loving their house. Seriously, if you have such high expectations in so little time, I don't think things would be different in another house because you'd think the same wherever you went.
