I agree with you there. It's nice to think that everyone clicks the minute you get your pledge pin, but it takes time for people in such a tight-knit group as a sisterhood to accept new sisters into their group, it's definitely not overnight. Of course, they should be welcoming and make a huge effort to invite you out to stuff, etc., but part of it's on the NM as well. You have to be open to invites and make yourself as available as possible - the old saying is so so true in this case: you get out of it what you put into it. Period. Everyone in the sorority is an adult and they're not going to force you to come to stuff or hold your hand through everything. With that being said, if you put a lot into it, you'll get a lot back and end up with a lifetime of rewarding sisterhood
