For those at Dartmouth...happy 21W bid day! If rush worked out for you, congratulations! I sincerely hope you've found a community that will make you happy and encourages you to be your best self. If rush didn't work out for you, you're not alone.
When I rushed my sophomore year, I had no idea what I was doing or what I was looking for. It felt like everyone around me was thriving while I was just trying to keep up, because I felt like that's what I was supposed to do. As an introverted over-thinker, recruitment was an incredibly emotional and stressful experience for me.
I know there are infinitely many more things important than sorority rush, but when you're going through recruitment, it can feel overwhelming. I hear so many offensive discussions of house rankings and know there are so many girls who have their confidence destroyed by recruitment; yet, all we see are those who were successful. We don't talk enough about those who don't have a positive experience.
At my school, only about two-thirds to three-quarters of girls who start the recruitment process get a bid. To the many girls who didn't get a bid, never felt like they cliqued with a house, or felt less-than at any point in the rush process: Rush is not a reflection of the person you are. Like I saw someone else say that other day, a bad bitch is a bad bitch, no matter what house she's in. Rush is a highly imperfect process, and whether you decide to try again at another point or decide to be an unaffiliated queen, you belong to our (or your respective) community.

P.S. Feel free to attack me for being an idiot during this process lol but don't come @ me for the weird animation brooo I actually just started a real Animation course (after this video was filmed) so it'll only get better (hopefully).
