trouble with friends

by:    

So I'm a new member and I'm having trouble making friends in my sorority. I thought it would be so much easier. I usually feel awkward walking into the house because I don't really have friends. How long did it take you to feel at home in your chapter to make good friends? Do you have any advice?

I don't feel comfortable in my house either. I go to all the events and stuff and try to talk to other new members but I still am not feeling a connection. Will probably drop before initiation, honestly. Just doesn't feel like home to me.

this is the norm for us. get of it. who cares. just drink and have a good time. I do not care about the girls, they do not care about me. I really have a couple friends in zta that is it.

do not buy into the sisterhood bs, because they are not your friends. Trust me, they are not, does not matter on the tiers either. A bunch of back stabbing witches. I belong for the parties and to met guys. That is it. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SISTERHOOD. IT IS A DAMN LIE.

went to a frat party where someone in my pledge class walked right by me, and pretended she did not know me. DID NOT EVEN SPEAK TO ME. , AND SHE KNOWS ME. CAN YOU IMAGINE. GET USE TO IT, or drop your house. CATTY. I HATE TI.

During recruitment, it seems like magic. Join this chapter and you will instantly have the bond of sisterhood with 250+ women! And then you join and realize you don't actually know any of them, or where they're from, or what they do for fun. And everyone has class to go to and studying to do and suddenly the happy bubble of recruitment is gone.

EVERYONE goes through this. The expectations set during recruitment don't carry through to real life. You can't reasonably expect to become insta-BFFs with 250 people, and it's an emotional letdown.

If you're looking for something to try, you could announce at a new member meeting that you're going to some sort of campus event (pick one, there are always a million) or starting a study group or really anything, and ask if any other new members want to join you. I guarantee other people in your class feel the same way, and at least one of them will jump at the chance to make a new friend.

When I joined my sorority three years ago this was also a harsh reality I faced. You will eventually learn that you will never be friends with every single girl in your sorority, maybe at most 10 close friends. Everyone finds their group of people. I didn't find mine until a few months in my sorority so don't feel down just yet.

You girls are spending thousands of dollars to feel awkward, uncomfortable, or only have a few friends. Just sayin.

there is a lot of negativity on this post, I'm so sorry to see that some of you are going through this. but also wanted to point out that not every sorority is this catty/confrontational. I'm PC16 and not gonna lie, in the beginning it was awkward. getting to know people is hard and some people seem to do it effortlessly, which can be intimidating, but after about a month here, I've started to get very close to the girls and I'm loving my PC so much. It's not all sunshine and rainbows but as time goes on I find out just how much I have in common with these girls and feel truly supported and loved, in a way that I would not had I never rushed. Girls that rushed me still talk to me and say hi whenever I see them, and girls I've barely met are so sweet to me solely for the fact that I'm their sister. #blessed

all this is bs. I hate it. I have to agree, there is no such thing is sisterhood. They do not ask how you are? etc. I just go for the name and to drink and meet guys. I do not care about the girls at all. When I graduate, I will not keep in contact with anyone in my house. All Witches, at least 260 percent of them phony as hell. Got it. High school all over, just paying for it.
