2 houses

by: defeated   

I only got invited back to 2 houses, my least favorite for this round. I'm feeling so defeated. Can someone please give me some words of encouragement?

Thanks everyone for these kind words. One of the houses I do see myself in and they're getting a new house soon which is awesome. The whole process is just so overwhelming and intense.

It is. What you are feeling is totally normal.

Think about how many girls have zero houses and no bid. We have heard record numbers were released entirely. These girls are devastated and would gladly switch places with you in a heart beat. Be happy you have two left, not zero. Go to them with an open mind and positive attitude. If you don't, I assure you they will notice, and you will be dropped by them too. Because it isn't a done deal you will get a bid at either one.

With all the total releases, cob is going to be super competitive too. You have reached this point so stick it out. God may gift you something you did not expect but will turn out to produce lifetime besties!

Those two houses see something very special in you. They are indicating they want to get to know you more.

Put all of your energy into making a real life connection with them at the next parties. Ask them questions that mean something to you.

One last thing... Were they low on your list due to gossip and tent talk or because of something else? Face that head on -- this is not high school where you need to be in a certain clique. The world is so much bigger and both sororities you get to continue meeting this week have BIG opportunities for you.

Well, these ladies have given you some outstanding advice, but let me just reiterate some things. This process is brutal; please do not take the cuts personally. There is nothing wrong with you, and you are beautiful, smart, sweet, accomplished, and awesome...don't forget that! Obviously the 2 houses that invited you back see something special in you that they think would make you a good fit for their sisterhood. Think about how amazing that is!! They actually cut other girls to keep you, so think about that when you're visiting them this round. Try to see what makes these houses special (and ALL of our houses are special) and what makes their sisterhood close and unique. Imagine that these are the only 2 houses on campus, and try to give them a fresh new look...if you keep an open mind, you'll probably be very pleasantly surprised later this week. There are around 400 women in every house; there will be around 140 women in your PC. I can guarantee you that if you make an effort, you'll find the best friends you could ever ask for in ANY house. Also, forget tent talk and "rankings"; the most important thing is that you feel at home with these women, not what insecure people write about them on this page. After rush is over, the "hate" (competiton) goes away, and girls have friends in every house, I promise. And make sure to TELL the girls in the 2 houses you have left that you're really enjoying getting to know them, that you feel welcome and comfortable there, etc. Good luck

If you can't find something in common, or a good group of friends among 400 girls in a sorority, the problem is with you. Be happy to have opportunities to get a bid from any house.
