if sorority rush doesn't workout for you...

I came here from a very small hometown out of state. A lot of my friends went to SEC schools and rushed the week before here. Rushed worked out perfectly for them. I was so excited to rush. I planned all my outfits weeks in advance. However, it did not workout perfectly for me. I ended up dropping the day of sisterhood round and crying to my mom on the phone. Why didn't it workout for me? I don't know, I had a 4.0 GPA in high school, I cheerleaded, I volunteered, I did track, I'm not awkward or unfortunate looking, I'm good at hair and makeup, I come from an affluent family, I never really used my Instagram until I got to college (but I don't think that really matters). Whether my personality was incompatible with the girls I talked to or the houses just liked PNMs better, the point is it didn't workout. I felt like my entire college experience would have been soooo much better if I was in a sorority, while it would have been so much fun and was always a dream of mine, it didn't workout for me. So if you don't get the house you want or you don't get a bid or you drop, it will be okay. I resented so many sorority girls and was hesitant to befriend them as a freshman, which caused me to miss out on so many friendships I could have had. Don't do that! You can still be involved in so many things here at A&M. You can still go to frat parties even if you're not in a sorority, and even make friends with frat boys. You could always rush again. You could join a woman's org or FLO. Just be nice to everyone and don't be afraid to reach out to the girls in your apt complex, classes or dorm and you can still make friend with whoever you want regardless of what they are involved in on campus.
