Now, if you had told my 17-year-old self this, I probably wouldn't have agreed, and insisted that I am fun at parties and lots of people like me and all that, but the truth is, I was never cut out for a house that expects women to be "on" all of the time, and the chapter I pledged was the right one.
The bottom line is that your sorority is not something that makes you superior or inferior. Chapters are just different, and you should not try to force a fit with something that maybe isn't really you.

This is me, except I'm an extroverted awkward girl, which means I tend to push my crazy on people. I accepted a bid to the "awkward" house, knowing that I'd rather be part of the system than not. I've always know that I was "that girl", but it truely took me until I was about 23 to accept that, and decide to just do me - and if you like me, great, and if not, whatever.
