struggling with dorm friends

by: Stuck

So blessed to have made the friends I have in my chapter! The thing is not many people in my chapter that I'm friends with live in the same dorm as me so I don't have the luxury of always having them around. I don't like to have to always leave the comfort of my living space, so that leaves me the option of making friends with my floormates. They seem really cool when I've spoke to them, but I feel like they sometimes sort of aren't very inclusive toward me because they think I'm some basic sorority girl maybe. I'm always nice, say hi to everyone and try to be very genuine. I really wanna make the most of my living situation and make friends idk what to do. Have any of you experienced this and have advice?

This was something that happened to me as I lived on a floor as one of the only sorority girls and then a few frisk were Tri delta's who just hung out with each other. A lot of the girls had dropped from recruitment and bonded over hating the recruitment process and led to them being really great friends, where as I was a girl in a sorority and was fine with the process because I found a home. I was always nice but they were by inclusive because I was different. I made a lot of friends in my sorority and through organizations and it was just fine. My roommate was a friend from high school and didn't even want to be Greek and we were able to stay friends. I was always nice to the girls on my floor but stopped investing too much time in being their friend and instead invested more time in the relationships with women that I knew wanted to be my friend.
My advice to you is just to continue being nice and use opportunities you can but don't stress about it and just further the friendships you have in your chapter!

Maybe they're treating you like a basic sorority girl because you're acting like one. Is all you want to talk about Greek life or parties or something of the like that Greeks enjoy doing? Do you have your bid day welcome sign with your name on it plastered on the outside of your door? Is your entire room decorated in monograms and sorority letters? Do you wear your letters at least 3 times a week? Then yes. You're probably being basic. Not saying you're wrong by any means to be doing that, it's fun, I did it too. but you are basic and you probably act basic too and don't realize it. I mean after all, you are posting on this website of all places for advice so you are probably pretty basic. I learned if you want to make friends that aren't Greek, you need to understand that they don't care about anything Greek at all. At. All. So don't talk about it.

You sound super bitter.
I am involved in an organization where me and 2 other girls are Greek out of 15. And the non Greek members are some of my closest friends and care about the fact that I am Greek and don't mind talking about it with me and the genuinely care because being Greek is a big part of my life s a sorority women and they know that and understand that. Do I talk about it constantly? No not at all. But do I mention it occasionally? Yes. Do I wear my letters? Of course. And none of those are bad things. If those women who I am really close with didn't listen or care about the fact that I a Greek we probably wouldn't be friends. And if non Greeks don't want to be your friend because you wear sorority t shirts you payed for it because you really love all of the crafts your big gave you then they probably aren't worthy friends to have.
