[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Plenty of people do and find, hey I don't really mesh with these girls, we have not as much in common as I thought and it's not what I want, and they depledge. No harm no foul.[/quote]

As I understand it, that's not wholly true. If you join a sorority, you can depledge, but you can't depledge and join a different sorority. So, a girl who gets a bid from a sorority she's not thrilled about--and for reasons that may NOT be just about popularity or status--has to decide whether to join or wait and see  if she can get into a different sorority during open bidding or as a sophomore.

I just watched a youtube video by a young woman who went through rush at a large state U. She got into a sorority that sounds as if it was "middle of the pack." Then, for unrelated reasons, she transferred to another large state U. She "affiliated." She found herself in one of the top 3 sororities...and she didn't fit in as well. But it was stay in that sorority or drop out. Joining another sorority wasn't an option.

That seems ridiculous to me. [/quote]

This is true and one of the reasons girls might drop out rather than take a bid that they’re not excited about. This leaves the open bidding process open to them. But then they miss out on all the fun of bid day which is really alienating and depressing if it was something you wanted. The whole thing is ugly. [/quote]

No it’s not true, you are uninformed. If you drop before initiation, which is usually 6 weeks after bid day, you can depledge and rush again the next formal recruitment session.  Only if you are initiated can you not drop and join a different one. And again, the pledging period is long so there is plenty of time to try it on for size and decide.[/quote]
