I didn't get a bid after formal recruitment, so my call went something like this:
PX: Hi, sigpsigirl. There was a problem with matching and we were unable to find a place for you.
Me: Oh.
PX: If you're still interested in Greek Life, though, COB starts immediately, or you could wait until fall informal as well. And there's nothing stopping you from hanging out with sorority girls still!
Me: Okay.
It was a bit of a shock... but I liked the way my PX worded it so that it didn't sound like nobody liked me. I still felt that way, but I had no way to back it up.
And seriously, if your campus has COB, PX's should push it because I did go through and was able to meet far more girls in the informal atmosphere than I could at formal rush, and found my home with Sigma Psi.
