It appears I'm in the minority, but I'm with 33Girl. A whole world of specific social activities just disappeared for her. Sure, you can have a social life without a sorority, but if you are used to mixers/exchanges/swaps/raids (whatever your school calls them) with fraternities, formals and date parties, Greek Week and sisterhood retreats, you are not initially going to be happy with the options.
In many ways, the social experience of a NPC sorority is the hardest to replicate. For example, I extensively supported a philanthropy in high school that is not Alpha Phi's philanthropy (it is a philanthropy of another NPC that was not at my campus though). I wanted to continue with the organization, so I did that side-by-side with Alpha Phi's philanthropy events. She could easily find philanthropic activities to help out with Girl Scouts or Prevent Child Abuse America if she wanted.
But Greek social events are typically hard to replicate. If I hadn't gone Greek at my school, I would have still had an amazing social life...it would just be very different than the one I ended up having. So I can totally see why she is upset.
