You said you didn't want to be judged because your reasons for wanting to depledge sound shallow. That's because they are. What I am about to say, I am doing not to be mean, not to tear you down, but because you need to take a good look at yourself and determine whether more than just your reasoning is shallow, that maybe you are a chronically shallow person (Maybe you're not, this is something you need to determine for yourself, but look at it seriously.) The sisterhood I feel in my sorority is very deep, and a person who is shallow cannot commit to that deep of a relationship, nor any kind of truly meaningful relationship. If you find that you are a chronically shallow person (everyone has their shallow moments, but perhaps with you it really is a problem), you have two different options:
1) You realize that as you are you cannot truly commit to entering into a sisterhood and you depledge because it is not fair to the sisters to bind them with someone who will not be true. OR-
2) You go through with initiation and commit yourself to growing as a person. Look at the sisters and see if their personal characteristics--honor, loyalty, kindness, dedication, bravery, humility--are qualities that you admire and are the qualities that make up a good person. If you can dedicate yourself to learning from them, I say join. Being a Sigma Kappa has grown me in so many ways. I am a better person because of all my sisters and maybe your sisters can do the same for you.
Good
