anyone else
by: HeyIs anyone else part of a sorority and still feel kind of alone? Sorry that was sad but it's hard to find genuine friends

It may take your reaching out. If you are in a dorm see if there is someone on your floor that you would like to hang out with. Doesn’t have to be in the same sorority, then just strike up a casual conversation.
In some houses many of the pledges already knew each other and still hang together. Just strike up a conversation with someone at chapter or at a function.
Sometimes it only takes you making the first move. Ask around to see if anyone is going to a particular party you want to go to and just ask if you can tag along. Chances are good they’ll say of course!
If you put yourself out there just a little you may be surprised how much others will respond.
Good Luck

I got my first choice which is a top house but knew virtually no one in my pc. it took until my sophomore year to find my true group of forever friends and now couldn’t be happier. Also once you start getting ready for next years recruitment is when you will start to bond more closely with your house.

Thank you for the kind responses. I'm the original post writer and I thought I had found my forever friends until I realized how cliquey the group was and now I feel stuck because everyone else already had established friend groups. I'm in one of the "top" houses and I'm a sophomore

Hey I’ve been there too. Top houses can be super cliquey if you don’t go in with your set friend group. I honestly went through a couple of different friend groups. No falling out or anything it just took me until the end of soph year to find a group that stuck. My advice is to try to connect with one or two girls you feel closest to and then you will gradually be accepted into their group. My closest friends now I hardly knew fresh year. Hang in there!

pnms should also go where they feel most at home even if it’s not their legacy chapter or a top house. imo chapter legacies who had no current in house connections can be treated really bad because the other girls feel like you took a spot from their friends. and tbh you may have had more in common with a “lower” house. how many times have we heard our sisters say “she’s a legacy so we had to take her”.

Friend groups shift constantly. Even when in a sorority. I think many people can relate to your honest post. Hoping for new opportunities for you. Good luck w finals.
