I just wanted to thank you all for taking the time to read my disorganized, emotional rant, and to formulate responses.
A couple things to note - Greek life at my school is rather small & not very competitive (of about 300 girls who went through recruitment this year, about 225 - 250 got bids, and most who didn't get bids didn't maximize their options on their ranking cards). There were also lots of sophomores and even a few third-years who went through & got bids. Also, my chapter was colonized very recently, 2010, & one of my good friends who ended up in a different sorority than me said that girls in her chapter say that there are two very distinct types of girls in my chapter, & I may just be one & not at all the other.
I have been trying to get to know the girls in my sorority, going on lunch dates, coffee dates, dinner dates, etc., and I guess why I'm worried is there are a bunch of girls I realllllly don't like. I'm also not at that totally-in-love-with-my-sorority stage yet, while there are other new members and new members of other sororities on campus who seem to absolutely love it, including one of my good friends. I don't know if getting to that point usually takes a while, or is partly brainwash(haha), or what, but I'm worried I will never get there. To me, it doesn't seem worth it to be in a sorority if I don't really love it or feel something close to disdain for some of my potential sisters.
However, at the same time I really want to try my best to make it work & be happy here, since everyone (at least at my school) says that everyone ends up where they're supposed to be. Any advice on how to get over the other sorority I went to on pref night would be most appreciated; I feel like if I could do that, I'd be fine, but its very hard to stop thinking about it that way once I've started. It's always in the back of my mind, even when I'm kind of enjoying myself with girls from my sorority.
