I think there is just way too much movies/tv going on in the fantasy lives of PNMs and new members. There are also no naked pillow fights for the guys out there who think that's what sorority life is. When all of us talk about lifelong friendships and how special our individual chapter and GLO is I can say without hesitation that almost every one of us regretted joining at one point or another. Your pledge class is a fraction of your chapter, and only fake girls make BFFs in a minute and a half. Your first semester of college is a whirlwind of confusion. Unless there is something seriously wrong with this chapter, just stick it out. It will become what you want over the next 4 years and into the rest of your life. And there will be the candle-passings (or kitty passings - whatever your chapter's deal is) where you are emotional and really feel like you're a sorority girl, but most of the time it's just your life.

Try to put on a reality hat and see what is REALLY missing from your experience. And then if you really do feel there's something missing or wrong, then sure, drop out, but assume you won't get another shot.
