should i drop?
by: HelloHi guys. I'm a sophomore and rushed just this year. I was lucky enough to get into a house (I know a lot of sophomores couldn't). My PC class obviously has some nice people and some mean people, but I haven't made ANY real friendships at all. A lot of the girls in my PC class already have friend cliques and aren't very inviting and some of the older members feel the same way too. Luckily since I'm a sophomore I already have a solid group of friends from last year, but right now I just feel so discouraged and disappointed with my Greek experience so far. What do you think I should do?

I agree with "hey" ^ I, too pledged as a sophomore and I know exactly what you're going through. It makes it hard to fit in sometimes, but it will click soon, I am sure! In some ways, it was easier to make friends with the older members. Are there any other sophomores in your PC? Ask them how they feel about it? Also, in ANY group, there will be different types of people...I say, stick to the nice ones. I was very close to my Big and her friends and then with the PC that came after ours. Over time, a few pledge sisters became some of my closest friends. Stick with it, and reach out to people! That really helps. Good luck!

Thank you so much! We actually have a decent amount of other sophomores and I have reached out to them a bit and really enjoying hanging out with them!

The problem with being a sophomore is that you made your initial friends outside your house so you probably won't ever have the quintessential sorority experience. I'll just tell you what my mom told me when I have had disappointments and that is that sororities are for a lifetime experience. Some of my mom's best friends are from other chapters of her sorority. She didn't know them in college but she's met them through her alum group. It's also a good way to network for a job. Last summer I had two interviews I got through networking with my sorority. I suggest you just throw yourself into it and make your own friends in the house to the extent you can and keep your other friends too. Good luck and I hope things turn out well for you.

I didn't even think about it like that! That is something that I am really happy I'll have and can look forward to. And yeah, I feel like I have such a different experience because I rushed as a sophomore, but if I did as a freshman I probably never would've met my boyfriend or my other awesome friends that I wuoldn't change for the world

You have nothing to lose by staying in. You won't get a house at all rushing as a junior and your level of awkwardness in making new friends won't have changed either. So if you want the greek experience, this is it for you. You have to decide, but to me, being in a sorority has been great. It's not all roses, but neither is living in a dorm or an apt. So you decide. Things aren't greener on the other side of the street.

Maybe you're trolling. Hope so. Otherwise, you're miserable and mean. Too bad this is anonymous.

My name doesn't start with a B, and honestly I hope I'm not in your sorority because that is SO mean of you.

My name starts with a B but I've been very happy and I know my new sisters are happy to have me. You've probably ruined the day for 1/26 of the freshman girls at OSU. I wouldn't have thought this would happen at OSU. Based on what I've heard from my friends, though, I'd guess that your sorority starts with a P.

I too pledged as a sophomore. I can promise you that there are other girls in your pledge class who feel the same way as you. No matter what house you are in. You are only a few weeks in so give it some time. Real friendships take time to grow. Keep putting yourself out there and you will find your peeps. I didn't really develop close friendships until the spring semester. It will happen and 20 years from now you will be so happy you stuck it out!!

I haven't gotten my big yet, and some of the older memebers I have met has said they don't really have a connection with their little/big. I hope I do with mine though. I will stick it out, I think I just had a different idea of what this would be like in my head. It isn't necessarily bad that it is different but still
