Hi guys!! I recently just finished formal recruitment and ended up getting a bid from my top choice. I was deciding between 2 houses - very different. 1 house I felt more comfortable in but I knew almost every older girl in the house. The other 1 I didn’t know anyone but I made amazing connections with them all during formal recruitment. I ended up picking the one I felt more comfortable in and I feel like I made the wrong decision. I arrived at bid day to look around and see the weirdest girls in my pledge class who were nothing like me at all!! I know feel so uncomfortable in the house I chose because my pledge class is so weird and nothing like me. I feel so disappointed in myself for making the wrong decision and actually quite sad about it too. I see the other house I didn’t picks pledge class and feel so jealous I love so many people in it. UGH. I think I should drop- but then I’d have to wait a whole year to rush again. I can’t do informal rush. Please give your honest feedback thanks so much!!
So you can’t contact the other pledge master (or however the Greek world works…I was never interested in that) and let them know you made a mistake? My sisters were all in sororities and I remember there was a huge competition among the houses. Maybe they would like that you walked away from the other one? If not, I do think you should drop. I know what you mean that it just isn’t a fit. As I said, I wasn’t the sorority type but I know the point is to have a group you are close to and connect with.
I remember at my daughter’s high school graduation, the main speaker said everyone has something of value to learn from. I’d keep an open mind and try to get to know the sisters in the new pledge class. Give everyone a chance. You picked them for a reason, don’t give up on them.
