Also, there may be women in the upcoming pledge class (if your chapter is one of the smaller ones, I assume you will be taking a fall class) who you can relate to. Give everyone a summer off and see what happens when you come back in the fall. Believe me, there are sisters I thought I'd NEVER have anything in common with who became good friends. You've only known these women around 20 weeks, if that long.

Plus, if you are one of the smaller chapters, the chapter itself may be in a "transitional" period - there may be girls who want to bid women who are outside the sorority stereotype (like you, it seems) and those who want things to stay just as they are and feel threatened by women who aren't just like them. I remember we had sisters who were freaked out because we had smokers - I don't mean pot smokers, I mean normal old cigarette smokers - living in our house for the first time. I mean you would have thought they were doing crack in the middle of campus by some of the reactions! Again, these were women who had joined what was at the time a very "sedate" group. They didn't know what to make of the new sisters who liked to party and had tons of boyfriends. Eventually, though, it all worked out.
