Ask your new member coordinator about Big Sisters, your social event calendar and your concerns about the chapter's reputation. Give the chapter a chance to address your concerns before you make the decision to stay or go.

If you drop out, you are not eligible to rush and pledge pledge another sorority until next school year. I don't think you have much to lose by staying in for now. You've already paid your dues for the month, right?

Also, give it some time-- how long has it been since recruitment? Just a couple of weeks, right? If you give it a fair shot-- call people, make an effort to come around and hang out, lead by example to change the campus's perception of the chapter, etc., you might turn things around for yourself and the chapter. If it isn't in you by initiation-- which will be in just another month, then certainly drop out. It isn't worth your time or theirs if your heart isn't in it.

And I promise you that there are pledges in every one of the other chapters on campus feeling the same way you are. The grass is always greener on the other side, and often we have a very hard time seeing the big picture. You are going to deal with image issues, sisters you don't like and rumors no matter what chapter you are a member of.
