Don't get discouraged. It does take a long time.

Everyone is encouraging you to stick around because they think you are a good fit, but it's important to remember that this isn't magic. A couple weeks certainly isn't enough to form close bonds.

Try your best to become closer to everyone else in your sorority. You need to do meaningful things with them to build bonds.

If you need ideas, I highly suggest that you consult your new member educator.

As for the specifics:

1.) Social events by themselves don't do much to make you closer to anybody. Bigger things such as studying together, trips, one-on-ones, and small adventures are much more effective.

2.) It sucks not being able to live in the house, but at least you can still hang around the house often (as in, at least a few hours every day).
