i chose the wrong sorority

by: SDSU

I am writing this as a "former" sorority member at SDSU. I dropped out of my sorority my sophomore year and wish someone had given me the advice I will share with you so you don't make the same mistake I made during rush:
Just like you I couldn't wait to get here and be in a sorority, go to fun frat parties, and have a ton of sisters to laugh, cry, and have fun with. I spent my summer getting my outfits together for rush and spent endless hours researching all of the sororities. I was ready -wrong!!
Rush was fun -stressful yes but fun. I found myself clicking more with a house and girls that I didn't deem to be in the "top" tier but who doesn't want to be in a top house?!. So when it came down to pref night and my "top" house invited me back I was so excited.
I went and all I can say is I felt intimidated from the moment I walked in - they were all perfect. I felt uncomfortable all night. After, I went to pref at the house I clicked with and felt really comfortable from the moment I got there.
Who did I pick later -yep, the top house and guess what? I never felt like I fit in and I did try. I reached out, volunteered but I just didn't fit. By my sophomore year I knew it was time to quit.
I do not in any way blame my old sorority -I blame myself for not listening to myself during rush week and pref night.
The lesson - choose the sorority you feel most comfortable in, where you can be yourself. Don't get caught up in the rankings.

I had a similar experience. I'm sticking it out, but I'm in the wrong sorority because I wanted a top house. My house is awesome, but it just isn't for me.

That's your fault. You could have rejected your bid offering, but you made the educated decision to accept it. So now your pissed off? WELCOME TO COLLEGE!!!
