I feel like I chose the sorority I'm in because of my sisters and their friends were pressuring me and I thought they would be upset if I didn't choose their house. I don't want anyone to be upset with me but I really feel like I would be happier at a different house. I don't know how to go about dropping the sorority that I'm currently a pledge at... Don't get me wrong, the girls are great but I just don't click with them or feel at home. Can someone maybe give me some advice on how to handle this?
If you browse around GreekChat for a bit, you'll find plenty of threads in which people express they had doubts at first. If you did get a bid very recently, then, as others have said, give it a little bit of time to see if you adjust. A lot of people expect to instantly feel "at home," and while some people may have that experience, others make their sorority feel like home. Make an effort to really become involved with your sorority and try spending time with women in your new member class outside of required/planned events. After a bit more time and getting to know people better, see if you feel differently.

Keep in mind that it's also hard to realistically say that you think you'd be happier in another sorority...it may be a case of "the grass is always greener."
