NOT having a stereotype is a good thing. Why would you want to be Katie, the stereotypical XYZ?
also, it ALWAYS takes time to fit in a group. Inside jokes will be made. And it sounds like you have a HUGE chapter. you're not going to be BFF with every sister, but start small. stop skipping events. how else are you going to be in on the "inside jokes" if you're not around?
and remember it could all be one huge misunderstanding. you interpret them as being cliquey, standoffish, etc. when they could be looking at you like "what's her deal? she doesn't like us, why doesn't she make the effort?" remember it's a big group so it's easier to get lost in the shuffle. DON'T get lost!
and disaffiliating is jus going to cause more drama. so... give it a try. talk it over with someone. there's gotta be at least ONE person in your pledge class you are on decent terms with.
