A lot of my friends are joining fraternities this spring. I was offered a bid from one house but ended up declining it because I didn’t feel like a fit with a lot of the brothers. There is a decent amount of older brothers who I really like though, but a lot who I didn’t feel were my type. I also wasn’t a fan of the people in the pledge class. Right now, my plan is to just wait a year to rush again since a lot of my friends will be in fraternities.
Honestly, I am bummed even though I feel like I made the right choice for the long run because most of my friends are gonna be doing pledge stuff this semester and I am going to be missing out on things like mixers and parties. Was I too picky when it came down to my choice to decline their bid? I really want to be in a fraternity and am trying to figure out how I feel about my decision and whether or not it was the right choice.
