What you're heard is true. No top sorority wants a girl who dropped a lower sorority. I would suggest that you are in control of your attitude. You basically have to decide if you want to be greek or not. If so, this is probably your only chance, so make the most of it. Go hang out with your sisters. Meet all the older members you can. Run for office in your class. Find older girls in your major and get to know them. Ask for help getting involved. The more you throw yourself into your sorority, the more you'll get out of it. And if you're thinking that it's social suicide to be a member of "that" chapter, relax. At TCU, greeks don't look at rank among themselves. And what's really great are the alums from "lower" (at TCU) sororities that are fantastic women. Some bloom later and some are from chapters at other universities. So I would urge you to stay in and find a way to make it work.

^^^ That's not completely true. I know a few sophomores that went through rush again this year after doing it once last year and they actually are in "better" sororities. If you do drop though you have to make a strong effort to become friends with girls in different chapters because they will be the ones really pulling for you second time around.

This is such good advice! Your sorority experience is completely what YOU make of it. Every house has great women in it. Jump in with a whole heart, make an effort to meet people and get involved. If you can't do that with a group that wanted you, how you expect to have a more positive experience with groups that didn't want you? Appreciate the people that appreciated you.

It is good to hear. You are trying to be grateful to the house that bid you. I agree with the person before me. If your house has asked you to do things against your values then I would tell you to drop them now. If it is that you haven't clicked yet then you have got yo give some time. Have you reached out to others in your Pledge Class, New Member Educator, Exec or girls with your major or have you isolated yourself? College is a big adjustment and the girls in your house can make it much easier if you let them. As a upperclassmen I promise I am friends with girls from every house. That tells me I could have made most houses work. You can do it too. Don't give up too quickly and possibly loose out on lifelong friends and perhaps your only chance to be Greek.

You cannot know much in only two weeks. Try to make it work because going through recruitment again is a gamble at best. You have weeks before you go through initiation to full membership so give it time.

If Greek Rank puts up their own questions then that makes this site even more irrelevant. Who is to say they don't mess with the ranks then too.
If this is a legit question that people that posted to keep giving the house a chance are giving honest advice. You can't know a house in such a short time and to recruit again could have you end up with no choices.

If the house you are in has been cruel, asked you to drop your values or unsafe then you should drop them now and give yourself a chance to do better in the spring. If it's that you haven't meddled with the other sisters yet then give it time. There are weeks to go before you have to decide.
