I didn't want to give my two cents but I keep getting sucked in.
As I stated in another forum, waiting is the best idea.
In my situation, I had to be "voted" in as well. Let me give you the background. I called the chapter and arranged to visit when I went to transfer orientation. In hindsight, I think I really liked them from the beginning because I wanted to but that's another story.
So, the chapter welcomes me to almost all activities right away. I go to bid night, I go to parties, I go to dinner. I'm not allowed at chapter. Hell, I even got a little (not the best thing to ever happen to me but that's another story).
So, iniation time comes around (November) and they tell me I'm officially a member of their chapter. There were a few problems that happened and due to what boils down to them turning their backs on me and using me as a sacrificial lamb, I decide this isn't the best place.
Now, policy (as I understood it at the time)was that dues were pro-rated for the semester based on when you become a member. Mental note, this was late November. So in December (after NO ONE in the chapter would speak to me) the treasurer calls and says I owe $600 for the semester. Now, I've already dropped out.
Lots of crap happens from there that I won't get into now, but bottom line, I was voted based on numbers, not because they felt I fit in. THe once a sister thing, DID NOT hold true.
So, I don't think its an awful thing to have to wait a full semester and be kept at a distance from a lot of things.
