@disappointed, You really need to hear from a young lady that has been through what you are going through. I'll offer you a dad's advice and wisdom for what it's worth. First, you need to recognize that this past week has likely been the most emotional week of your life. You couple that with the fact this is the first time you are living away from home and you have just started college! Bottom line, you are too emotional right now to make a rationale, good decision. Give it a couple of weeks. I'd focus more on the girls in your pledge class more than the existing members. You have an immediate bond because you are all in the same boat. If you find some pledge sisters you click with, share with them how you are feeling. They may feel the same way. Talk it out with them. While there are about 280 young ladies in the sorority I'm assuming, you will be closest with your pledge sisters. Give it a couple of weeks. Your emotional dust will have settled some by then, and you can think more clearly. Also, put it all in perspective. There are about 5500 young ladies that are in the freshman class. About 1600 go through rush. About 15% skip and laugh their way through Rush and get their top choice. About 300 young ladies don't get a bid or drop out. So that leaves the other 65% that didn't get their first choice. You are in the majority so son't feel alone. Two weeks is not a long time, but if you are really feeling it's not right for you, it's ok. good luck
