When we had to do rush, I never got very many rushees, apparently they decided I wasn't a great rusher...not sure how they decided that, but it always made me feel left out knowing they thought I wasn't good enough to rush potential members into my own sororityGoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410631712898341849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778697041185077954.post-58764657587813751132009-07-24T07:11:22.769-05:002009-07-24T07:11:22.769-05:00I forgot to comment on your cruel experience.

It's sad that any rejection takes place in life either towards us or towards others and when it happens there is nothing to absolutely do but learn from it and try again if that's what you really want. <br /><br />I hate thinking that people suffer, it makes me real, real sad to think that thate are a million people out there just like the ones you described that are waiting for a helping hand. But what keeps me going is thinking and I really believe this-they'll get their hand out one day. That's the only thing that makes me go forward with this life...HOPE!Loredanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281756601492887263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5778697041185077954.post-32323005572247441932009-07-22T14:56:18.643-05:002009-07-22T14:56:18.643-05:00Learning to deal with rejection is part of what ma...Learning to deal with rejection is part of what makes us who we are.

This is one thing I dread for my kids and if I could ever prevent them getting that feeling I sooo would... however... it is a learning experience and they should feel it to know that we don't always win the hearts and minds of others and it's just fine!
