I think some people are being unnecessarily hard on you. Take what they say in stride and do what's best for you. You probably will not be permitted to miss all of those meetings, and you shouldn't want to! Chapter and new member meetings are exciting and interesting and a very essential part of Greek life. It's understandable that you have a commitment to your church that you are not willing to give up, but if you don't mind my asking, then why did you go through recruitment? Did you not anticipate it would come with some time commitments as well? I hope you decide to stay. I think you probably fit in with your chapter better than you think. They picked you! That means there is something special about you that they saw. In my chapter, a few of the officers were people that the chapter saw something in that they didn't see in themselves. College is a trying time. You're coming of age and learning who you are. I can honestly say my sisters shaped who I have become. I'm a junior as well, and so happy that I decided to spend my college years in a sorority. You will be better for it. I assure you. Good luck, dear!
