i still don't like my sorority

by: freshman

I went through rush in the fall and got a bid from a house I didn't like. I kept an open mind and accepted the bid, I started to make friends in the house so I went through and was initiated. But, I still don't like my sorority. I don't hate it but I'm certainly not proud to wear their letters. I like a decent amount of girls in the house but its not giving me what I wanted out of a sorority. I can't decide if I should stay or drop and I don't think I can talk to any of my friends within the sorority about this. I just don't know what to do.

Only you can decide what is best for you but if you drop you cannot join another house because you have been initiated into that organization. If you can, join committees that are involved in the area which bothers you most and work to move things forward in a positive way.

You are now a lifetime member of this house so I agree with the post above that you should do your part to improve what you can. If girls come together they can effect positive change.

Don't drop and regret missing out on all greek activities but jump into things and move them up

Once initiated, you are a member of that house for life. When you say that you aren't getting anything out of it, my question is what are you putting into it? In the grand scheme of things, sorority life teaches you how to cultivate friendships, function on a team, serve, and how to balance challenges. If the girls are mean to you, that's one thing. But you just stated you liked some of them. So obviously, that's not the case. If your issue is about a change you feel needs to happen, then join a committee or run for an office to make the change. Otherwise you can just quit and all that will teach you is to go through life quitting every time you face something you don't like. Good luck holding down a job with that mindset!

Honestly, I was in the exact same position just 2 years ago. I considered dropping but since I was initiated I decided to give it a little more time. Once I went through work week and recruitment with my chapter the next year, I felt completely different. I now feel so at home in my house and hold an important exec position. My honest advice since you're already initiated is to please give it a little more time, don't make any rash decisions quite yet. If after a complete year you still don't like it, then consider making a change. Also, reach out to some of your pledge sisters you might not know well. My best friends now are girls I barely spoke to freshmen year. Good luck with everything and I hope it works out

What is it about your sorority you don't like? Is it something that others in your chapter may not like either? Can you and your friends work to change it?
