So as you ask yourself all these very intelligent questions keep this in mind. It is rare, and most of us can atest to it, to fall in love at first site with your sorority. Sororities are not like some great mingling of women who all get along. We fight, we're catty, we're there for eachother, we learn from eachother and we support eachother. They all are hand in hand. The Good, the bad and the ugly.
I really echo the advice to get into it, meet everyone, spend time in the house. Literally (well with out being creepy) go to the house sit on the couch and talk to the people that come through. I've had my best sorority moments when I was bored between classes and plopped myself in the living room and had amazing conversations. It takes hard work.
Remember that you've just uprooted your life and gone off to school. You're HS friends don't come first anymore, you have to get yourself up for class, and when the perfect fit doesn't seem to happen right off the bat, it is totally easy to be frustrated. I would really tell you to stick it out and make a very concerted (sp?) effort to get to know the women in your pledge class and house. In the long run, you're the one who has to live with your decision, I just ask that you don't make everyone around you miserable if you really hate it that much.
