sdt or cob

by: Can't decide    

I can't decide which to take my chances on. I feel comfortable in SDT, but it doesn't feel like home, you know? But I'm scared to take my chances with COB since everyone had such huge pledge classes this year. There were only about three sororities I didn't like during formal recruitment, but I would consider myself lucky to be apart of any of them. Advice?

SDT still has 2 days of recruitment left. Why don't you wait until after that.

This isn't the best place to ask this question. You have to go with your gut. Ask yourself what you really want out of the sorority experience and if you are okay with potentially getting nothing at all if it doesn't work out. Ask yourself What "feeling" are you looking for in concrete terms? Is the only way you can get that through COB, if that doesn't work will you regret not following through with SDT?

It sounds like you've already decide SDT is a backup plan, right? Just admit to yourself you want a big chapter

You said you would "be lucky" to be in any other chapter. You don't think you'd be lucky to be SDT? You know they don't give everyone bids! Pretty much says it all there, you think they are beneath you!

I never said I thought they were beneath me. But I did say that I didn't entirely feel comfortable in the house, hence why I didn't include the lucky part to them as well. Meaning if I got in, okay, and if not, oh well.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a bigger chapter.

So you would be "lucky" to be in one of three sororities you "didn't like" during formal recruitment? Then its not really about feeling "comfortable"... Come on

COBs are few and far between and most happen in the spring....

It sounds to me like you should look to join other types of organizations on campus that interest you.

You can leave yourself open for COB and rush next fall again. But...

It's time for you to move on right now. You don't love SDT so don't waste their time.

By: Well

COB or rerushing is a gamble.. if you feel comfortable with SDT why don't you go through the rest of their recruitment and decide when/if they offer you a bid? They are such a tight knit group and honestly being in a bigger chapter isn't necessarily all rainbows and sunshine....

Unless houses lose lots of pledges or have a bunch of fall graduates, I don't think there will be COB this year, or very minimal. The sororities that might have like gamma phi, theta, dz took so far over quota that they shouldn't need to. The other sororities don't need to, definitely. Not to trying to discourage you, but being realistic here.

I agree. If there is any COB, it will be 1 or 2 good friends of sisters in those houses. So if the OP doesn't choose SDT, she should make very close friends in a house or two and have them pull her in through COB or next fall if lucky (cause just having good friends in a house won't get you in unless others like you too, your grades are high, involved in other campus activities, etc.)

You don't seem to be feeling it with SDT and sounds like some sororities are eligible to COB.

By: COB, I guess
