i need advice :(

by:    

I got into the sorority I really didn't want to be in.. It feels like I had zero say in the process at all, and I don't know what to do. I don't want to drop because then I can't rush again until next fall, but I honestly feel like I don't fit in with these girls at all. Any advice?

something similar happened to me last fall. i liked the two sororities that i preffed, my second choice was actually my favorite at first, but then after pref round i picked the more "popular" one because i thought i liked it more and would fit in there better. on bid day i ended up with my second choice. i didn't think i would be upset because they were both awesome sororities, but it really hurt me because i had no idea what went wrong. but honestly, in the end i fit in a lot better with the sorority i ended up in and i realized that it was the right place for me, and i love my sorority and my sisters! just stick it out for a little, get involved in all the sorority events and get to know some of the girls and you WILL make friends. if you really decide its not for you, disaffiliate BEFORE initiation. and if you really want you can spring rush or rush again next fall. but chances are, if a sorority dropped you once, do you really wanna go back to them?

Agree with both posts! Give it time and make an effort to see if you fit it in before you just drop!

Stick it out until initiation time and make an effort to get involved. If you're thinking you don't have a connection in a chapter with nearly 300 girls, you're not trying very hard.

Also, stay away from GreekRank and other sources of negativity. At the end of the day, you really just need to make up your mind to make the best of what you have and not care what other people think. Every house has a lot to offer -- give yours a chance!

Greek Rank isn't all false but it definitely should not be how you decide your sisters!

To all the girls who are unsure...give it time. You've had one day. In a group of 300 girls there is someone like you i promise. If you're upset you got in a bottom tier sorority, I promise their are other girls exactly like you that fell through the cracks in recruitment and also ended up there. Being in greek life gives you so many opportunities and things to do so you should stick with it. It takes time to get to know your pledge class it won't happen in a day. Don't drop a sorority because of its reputation or because you feel like you belong in a different one because the truth is all you've seen of that sorority is rush and to be quite honest rush doesn't always show how the sorority actually is. Small talk can only tell you so much.Besides, if you re-rush than you're just rushing sororities who already dropped you once; do you want sisters like that?

has the right idea! I mean if they didn't like you enough once why would you do that to yourself again? You're still the same girl they didn't choose before

but what if it doesn't work out? I'm being optimistic here and giving it a chance till initiation but just in case what does it look like when a girl depledges and re-rushes? especially being an upperclassman too.

Greek said it best. What's bottom here definitely is not bottom at other schools. Some schools don't have Greek life because of this type of this cattiness, self-ranking and exclusive behavior that you see here. Think about why you wanted to go Greek and reevaluate.
