Hey girl! Rush can be a really brutal process. Like girls said above, please try not to take these cuts personally; I promise that it's not like the girls in the houses that didn't invite you back thought bad things about you, didn't like you, etc...it's just a numbers game, really. I'll tell you about my experience; I hope it helps! So my HS is pretty "well known" at Bama and lots of girls from home go to college here. I thought I would have a great rush; I had good grades, lots of activities and volunteering, good appearance, recs to every house, direct legacy to one house, knew some actives, from a good family etc etc. After first round, 2 houses cut me, but I wasn't that upset bc I knew I wouldn't fit in at those houses anyway. Fast forward to after Round 2...I was absolutely devastated. I still had several good houses, but as I looked at my schedule, I didn't really care...all I could think about were the ones that were not on my list. I was thinking "but what about ABC? I loved the girl there...amd XYZ...we had such good convos!" I just didn't understand what I had done wrong. I distinctly remember one of my Rho Chis saying "but you still have good houses left! It's not like you only have bottom houses left" and I seriously considered dropping at that point bc I felt so frustrated with the whole process. I'm SO glad I didn't though; I ended up having 3 amazing houses for pref and I got a bid to my first choice!! Cont.
