I dropped before initiation. The girls were not welcoming at all... very clique-sish No one talked to me. I even tried to eat lunch at the house and they would ignore me. I am better off now. Just wanted to get this out there, since I keep reading that they are "so sweet"... well not to me.

This can happen in ANY house. I got a top house but knew no one in my pc. I stuck it out and went through a couple of friend groups to find my tribe! Going into my senior year I am super involved and can’t imagine life without these girls. Sometimes it just takes some time before you feel at home.

sisterhood bonds aren’t automatic. it takes time and shared experiences to feel close to 300 strangers.

Some houses are just better at getting the new girls involved and creating a welcoming house. Retainment is definitely important in building a strong house. You can't recruit and then just let them "find their way". Of course you have to put in time and effort too.

in a house with 350-400 girls you didn’t click with anyone?

Sounds like it wasn't very warm/welcoming and if she quit before initiation she prob didn't give it enough time to find people to click. Some say it takes til you go through recruitment on the other side and live in the house that you really start to make connections which is a year, that's the down side to big pledge classes/houses.

Every house has this happen. Every house has a few girls who don't stay primarily due to not working hard enough or staying long enough to form relationships. You have to stay and give relationships a chance and be friendly and join in activities. It's a shame because if you stay you will (guaranteed) make some great friends for life. And btw, I am not an AXO (I'm a "neighbor") but they honestly are some of the nicest girls in greek life-they live up to their "nice" reputation in class and at parties. There's always a few "bad apples" in every large group.

I am not an AXO (member of another house close by) and they always invite me over for CFF and are so welcoming and fun! I'm always able to find a group (not just the AXO's I know) to sit with and they speak to me and are kind. I think that this poster would have had the same experience in any house. Each girl has to try and reach out and make friends and give kindness back to others to make friends. In a group of 350+ girls there has to be one or two that you could have befriended. P.S. Their CFF chicken is great!

It took me a long time to find my group within the house. Freshman year is already tough but recruitment week is when you really get to know the girls and click. It is totally worth sticking it out!!!
