initiation

by:    

Hi, I went Alpha Phi and am really unhappy. I have no friends and don't share common interests with them. The problem is I have already been initiated, but I want to rush because I was a COB so i never got the chance to. Is it possible to just quietly drop and rerush in the fall? I know I could be much happier in a sorority that puts more emphasis on sisterhood events and school work than on going out.

Once you are initiated, you are in that sorority for life. There will be no rerushing, darling.

I just feel so cheated out of what could have been such a positive experience

You cheated yourself, you could've found this answer with a quick google search. You can drop if you're unhappy but there's no re-rushing

This post is so bad in so many ways. First of all, it looks fake from another sorority just to put down APhi. Shame on you - go worry about your own house and your own self. Second, if it really was someone coming on here and calling out her house by name and saying those things about her sisters then APhi is certainly better off without her. Shame on you - drop out because you are a terrible sister. But it's a fake post.

I know it sounds bad and i shouldn't have used their name in the post, i didn't really think about it honestly because of the anonymity of this site. I know the smart thing to do would be to drop out but i also don't want to give up on greek life all together. I just don't feel like i have anyone to really talk to about this and reached a point where i just needed to get it off my chest. Do you know what i mean? I know i didn't do it correctly and that wasn't right of me

Don't understand why you didn't drop before initiation if being greek meant that much to you? If it's that big of a deal you could transfer to another Alpha Phi chapter.

I don't really have great advice, but I bet there are some others that feel the same way you do. If you could somehow find those sisters who would like to see some positive improvements maybe you could help the sorority move forward. I also feel certain that every sorority probably has girls that feel out of place or feel like they don't belong. I hope you find friends in your sorority and they can become the sisterhood you (and every one of us) look for in a sorority. I sincerely send best wishes to you.

My advice would be to stay in the chapter!! Try and improve it. It's your first year and a lot of people won't admit it but they hate it the first year too!! Try and join the officer committee and improve your sisterhood events/ academics! Talk to your president and tell her these things. Don't give up just yet

Once initiated always a member. I would follow the advice of trying to find members you have more in common with. Sororities all have the more dominant/outgoing (for lack of a better word) sisters and often it seems like they are representative of everybody. They are not.

To the poster who said this is fake, I'm not so sure it is. She didnt insult aphi, she just said she felt she didnt fit in and said why. Should she have named them? No, but that's really the only flaw in the post.

A house isn't everything but it does, IMO, help with group identity. I would give it a chance once they have their house and more activities are scheduled in and around the house. Maybe even try moving into the house? I know sometimes girls are disappointed because their house didn't live up to their expectations and projections. Once you pledge, it is for life. APhi is strong nationally and worst case, if you don't feel it with your chapter, you may find the sisterhood you are looking for later in your local alum group.

If you can't find anyone in alpha phi you won't find anyone anywhere so don't stress not being able to return

I think if OP was a real member of Alpha Phi she would not have called them out and said that they don't care about sisterhood (which I feel is false, my roommate is an Alpha Phi and she always talks about how great they all get along.) That sounds very suspicious idk one person who would put their sorority on blast, I have problems within mine sometimes but I would never in a million years call them out like that. Seems very fake. And like another poster said, you could easily google and find your answer. Such a strange post. I just wish we could all get along without bringing others down.

It is a fake post to bash Alpha Phi.

Probably by someone in a house that is in direct recruitment competition - and afraid of Alpha Phi strength once their house is completed.

people with nothing else to do but bash the new sorority.

Establishing a new group is not easy and not for everyone. Very sad if these are real people who think publicly bashing friends is an honorable thing to do.

Just sad for you peeps either way.

This post is definitely fake. I'm an APhi and the only people initiated so far went through formal rush. All of the COBs get initiated at the same time in April. It makes me sad that people will go to these lengths to bash a new sorority.

only like 5 people have been initiated this semester and it was people who could not attend initiation last semester due to their classes. If you know a COB who has been initiated, they aren't recent and were probably COBed soon after bid day.
