to those who dropped...

First thanks for asking. I went thru the first 3 nights. On night 3 I had 4 houses. One I loved, was a legacy and knew this would be my home. I had 2 I really really really liked and one I hated. When I got my pref schedule I had one I liked and the one I hated. Was told I had tonlist both houses on pref card and if the one I hated was the one I got then I was financially obligated for the next year.. I could not see myself pledging that house and got bad info so I just dropped. If I knew then what I know now I would have suicide for the house I liked but a year has passed and I am just as happy not being Greek.

You will notice I didn't mention top or bottom houses because I think the ranks are stupid. The house I didn't like just tried to sell me a crock of crap and came off really fake and I just couldn't commit to something so phony.

I went into rush with an open mind and ended up getting a house that wasn't my first pick, but I still liked. I was just happy to be in a sorority honestly.
After a few months of being there, I hadn't made many friends. It became clear to me that I didn't fit in there. I assume that I got a bid to that house because I was "pretty", which this house is apparently known for having pretty girls. I tried to talk with my sisters, but I felt like a lot of them weren't receptive to me. Eventually I quit the second semester because I wasn't going to waste thousands of $$$s on a house that only offered me a bid to uphold their reputation.
Sad, but I'm better off not being Greek. In retrospect, a lot of my "sisters" were actually really mean and catty. They were so cliquish and not at all how they portrayed themselves to be during rush!

Could more people post their stories of why they dropped? I think I'm realizing that Greek life isn't for me, and I find it reassuring that other people have felt the same way as me.

Don't register for recruitment. Sorority life is so fake.
Think for yourself, don't be a follower.

i dropped after initiation because nobody on campus or in the sorority took it seriously. i had to think long and hard but it wasn't worth it because if people in the sorority don't take anything seriously then its not worth it.

I dropped because I felt like I didn't fit in. I'm really involved on campus and I figured i could spend my time and money in places that are more useful towards getting my degree, you know the whole reason we go to college

Yet all y'all still lurking on Greek rank after you "dropped". Get a life! Why are you still so concerned with Greek life if it was SO awful for you? Probably all were dropped before bid day or kicked out and you are bitter. Get a life!
