It is not uncommon for women who receive a bid to their first choice sorority to feel a let down after recruitment. You are tired, you have been running on adrenaline (as have the actives) for the past few days, you got cut from some chapters you really liked and you have family issues. It is no wonder you feel a bit out of sync.
Throw yourself into the chapter's new member activities. Do not hold yourself aloof, but be proactive in getting to know everyone. Keep in mind that your sorority experience as an active will be for less than two academic years. Your sorority experience as an alumna will be many decades and can be even more rewarding than your time as an active, believe it or not! All of the organizations offer wonderful opportunities for growth and friendship.
Get some sleep, trust the members to know who fits well into their chapter and who doesn't. They want you, so give them a chance. Get some sleep and good luck!
