Low C Sharp is right. Most often new members in established sororities feel awkward and like they don't fit in as the excitement of recruitment wears off and they settle down into the sorority routine. We have had a rash of new members come to GC this semester who were contemplating resigning their pledgeships.

I advised a colony, and I was amazed at the hard work the colonists had to do. They are not only learning the regular new member things, but they are also having to learn how a chapter is supposed to function. It is a big responsibility, but I know that the young women who saw it through and are now alumnae would not trade all the hard work for anything. They are still a close-knit group and many of them show up to assist with recruitment year after year.

Being a member of a colony is a rare privilege-one not many people get to have. Think hard before you make your decision.
