That was the furthest I made it into the initiation ritual and then I told them I did not want to go through the rest of the ritual.

Every single sorority and fraternity have different rituals. While some may have similarities there is nothing about them that everyone does. So NO not at all familiar.

Now, if you are who a lot of people on here think you are; I was under the impression that you joined a local relgious glo, so why do this? And if you are her, please, please, please try to heal and MOVE ON!!

Now, if you are honestly someone else, please forgive all of the negativity. And have more respect for EVERYONE on here. They'll respect you too.

I've interpreted all your posts to mean: You are right now a pledge to a sorority. You were supposed to be initiated, but backed out before you actually, physically, saw anything related to ritual. Now they're going to make you go through the pledge period again, but you're having second thoughts. You hate the sisters, but would rather be with them than in no group at all.

If this is at all acurate:

You're going Greek for all the WRONG reasons. If you join a group and hate the girls you will be miserable! A million times more unhappy than you are right now!!!

As far as joining another group, follow PenguinTrax advice. If the group you're in right now considers you a full fledged member, your screwed. If they still consider you a pledge; have them sign the release papers to panhellenic and wait a year. Maybe by then you can come up with a tactful way to explain everything to the other groups on campus.

As far as the initiation fee goes...my chapter has been known to let the girls give it to them the next day. But it's not because of a tremendous need for sisters. It's because when you care enough to call someone a sister you don't think they're going to turn around and #$%# the chapter!

And no matter who you are; I hope you find happiness soon!
