I had a stronger connection in other houses and I feel as if this house is not the right fit for me. I'm a junior so that might of played a role as why it was so harsh on me. All of the girls in my sorority are nice -- of course, but my recruitment week has been stressful and overwhelming. During my recruitment week I saw myself in three other houses, this one really wasn't one of them.
I have decided to try it out for a couple of weeks (before initiation) and see how I will feel. I just feel guilty that I might of taken away a bid from someone else that might of really loved my sorority. I really don't even know if greek life is for me. Another factor is that right before recruitment started I had serious family issues. I am just confused right now and don't know where to turn.
Any advice is appreciated.

I think that it's good that you try it out. I know plenty of girls who were weary about where they received bids but in the end became an integral part of the sorority.
I know for me when I was in college I was very sick and had to have two emergency surgeries to save my life. My parents couldn't stay the whole time I was in hospital and my sister's made sure that everyday a group of sister's visited. It was their support and love that helped me.
My advice is to attend all the new member functions, most houses have a ton of events and meetings. My last bit of advice is that what you put into your sorority is what you are going to get out of it.
If you feel that in a couple of weeks that this is not the place for you then by all means do what is best. I just know from my experiences that when you are going through something hard it is imperative to have a support system and you will probably find some sister's that will help you during this time.
Hope I helped.
Just take it one day at a time.
