I thought it might be fun, so I figured I might as well try it.. And also, I felt bad and didn't want to say no because they seemed so enthusiastic about it. I went through New Member period super hesitant because it didn't feel right.. I didn't feel like it was right for me and I didn't really enjoy it. But every girl I talked to said to just wait till after initiation and I would like it better.. So, I initiated.. Stupid decision.. Because now, I'm thinking really hard about dropping.
It's now been a semester of me being in the sorority, and I feel like my college experience could be just the same, if not better, without the sorority.. And it's so much money and time being wasted if I decide that I don't like it. I just don't feel like I like anything about greek life. I'm making the effort and going to events, but I still don't feel good about it. I feel drained about the whole situation. So now, I'm trying to plan housing for next year, and if I stay in the sorority, I have to live in the house, so I have to make a decision very soon. Do you guys think I'm being unreasonable? Should I make myself stay in longer? I also joined a professional frat associated with my major, so I will have good connections on campus still if I drop the sorority.
Might I add that my sorority is bottom of the food chain at my school. They accept anybody (which is nice), but they have a pretty bad rep around campus.. The girls are nice though, which is a plus. I haven't made any good friends in it yet though, which makes my decision a bit easier.
Any thoughts? I know in the end I have to make my own decision, but I'm super indecisive about everything and confused about this situation in general, so I really would love advice.
