LOTS of reasons, but this is going to sound harsh. I apologize in advance, but you want to know the possible reasons....

1. the sororities you are after didn't want you as a shiny new freshman with a pretty clean slate. They are probably not going to want you more as a sophomore. This is the number one issue.

2. the sororities are going to see you as a big quitter for depledging. They do NOT LIKE women who depledge an organization to go after another group.


3. You have a whole year to make a mistake on campus before rush next year: drinking too much at a party, saying something nasty, dating the wrong guy, dating too many guys, too many pictures on your FB page with a red cup in your hand, etc, etc, etc. Sororities will see all this. Their members are everywhere.

There are many, many, many more reasons. There is not just 1. I bet we could go on for pages....

YOU GOT A BID and a SISTERHOOD! Please cherish & appreciate it! They liked you, they invited you to be their sister. How many women got nothing at your campus? I just can't understand throwing it away for no better reason than you don't think you fit in after a couple of weeks!
