cob

Formal rush did not go super well for me and I'm not sure exactly why. I am not terrible to look at and carry myself very well. I got dropped by my favorite houses and ended up suicide bidding one and got dropped from them. I am very tired of waiting around and being bored without having a sorority to be a part of. How should I get an open bid ASAP?

Ok I had a very similar situation as you did and I'm currently wondering the same things... I'm wondering if I should try for COB or if I should just wait and re-rush next year. I don't know what the better idea is..

No, suiciding does not preclude one from accepting a COB bid. The MRABA form binds one to accept any bid offered and excludes any other bids for one year. Suiciding, or only listing one sorority on the MRABA form, does not exclude COB bids, but does exclude quota addition bids. Suiciding dramatically lowers chances to be Greek at all because your very best chance is as an incoming freshman. If your grades at Bama are stellar and you are active in some organizations that show your involvement and leadership, then you may have a chance next fall, otherwise you will be limited by spring COB to only houses where you know people, IF they are accepting new members. I would ask OP and @re-rush: was it worth suiciding to not be Greek at all now, or looking back would you have taken that bid from that house that you didn't list?

srry but i don’t think you can COB bc the contract you signed when you voted that said if you didn’t maximize your options and didn’t receive a bid you’d have to wait a year until 2018 formal recruitment :/

If you want to do COB sign up for the COB form on Panhellenic. Make friends with girls in the houses that typically COB. Let them know you're interested. If you don't like any of those houses just wait till fall. A lot of girls who drop and rerush have a good rush. Just make sure your grades are above a 3.5 and you're involved.

Houses who typically do COB: ZTA, alpha phi, dg, adp, dz, and theta.

Not a lot of girls who re-rush have a good rush. Some do get bids, but probably only to the houses mentioned above. And judging from your post, you kind of rejected those houses hoping for a "better" house. No house that cut you the first time will keep you because of "once cut, always cut." The house you dropped at pref won't keep you because they know you're not interested. You can make some good friends and hope they can work a miracle and bring you in. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

You will have the same rush you had last year.
You're the same person and appear to be only interested in a few houses.
Just because you want a particular house doesn't mean they want you.
It's one thing to wait to rush. It's another to rush and expect a much different experience

This is not necessarily true at all. You will know people and have a better idea of various houses. Many girls successfully redo recruitment. Good Luck!

You are waiting around and being bored on a huge campus that has many things to do and orgs to join? You only want a sorority, and no other group is able to use your intellect and skill set? Hmmmm.....

Greek chat witches are at it again, no activity on their board so they're trolling here with their typical criticism of anyone who didn't 'find their home' and 'make lifelong friends' at any sorority that 'saw something in them'. Go away, Halloween is over

I agree about the mean girls from greek chat. But I do want to be realistic. If you make super grades, make lots of friends, and have lots of activities you'll have a better recruitment. But if you sit around this year with nothing to show for it you won't. Your decision.
