YES.

We get girls coming here to GC all the time saying the same stuff about how they "don't feel included."

So many people think that you get a bid and MAGICALLY every girl in the chapter is your BESTEST FRIEND EVER.

Then they are very disappointed to learn that this is not the case.

Just like anyone else you meet, it takes time to become friends with them.

Example: When you met your best friend from high school or something, you didn't just walk up to her and say "We're bffs now."

Or when you started your new job, you didn't just walk up to all the girls in your cubicle area and say, "I work here now, so we're bffs."

It's the same thing with a sorority.

A sorority is just like REAL LIFE.

Making friends takes time and effort.
