HJ Greek had this on their FB page this morning. How appropriate, I thought, for your situation:
"Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition people have to work at." ~Maya Angelou
And I couldn't agree more with this:

Did not see any harshness directed at you; rather, lots of support and great suggestions. My take: you're being truthful AND you're a little more mature as a junior, so you're looking at this and processing through it quickly. I am pleased that you've already come to feel strongly about your chapter and that you know that they wanted you very much. It took me a while to feel that I "fit" in; I kept comparing my insides to everyone else's outsides, which is a guaranteed recipe for disaster.
If you wish, come back and share with us from time to time; we like to hear how things go after recruitment. Welcome to the wonderful world of sisterhood. It IS for a lifetime. You'll have a bond with all of us, regardless of letters.
