[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A girl who lived across the hall from me in the dorms freshman year rushed but didn't get an offer from a sorority she wanted to join (she had very particular opinions about The Sorority she should belong to; they did not agree).  She rushed again sophomore year, which was very unusual at our school, and got a bid from a different sorority that she decided was good enough.  She then became the single biggest booster of that sorority I will ever meet, and I assume she's glad she went through the extra (slightly embarrassing) effort of trying again.[/quote]

Why is it embarrassing she tried again? I don’t understand this part of your story.[/quote]

Because, as I noted in the post, sophomore rush was a very unusual option at this school.  It wasn't a school where a bunch of people transferred in and sophomore year was another reliable source of pledges.  Most people had never even heard of it when she talked about it, so it led directly to the "you can rush sophomore year/ did you not try last year / oh, you did, ohhhh, good luck!" conversation.

Somewhat embarrassing, but worth it for her in the end.[/quote]
