[K∆-EA]

So thought you'd like to hear my story; you sound a lot like me.

I never thought of myself in a sorority either; none of my sisters really had. I went through formal recruitment in the fall just for the hell of it to see what would happen at the insisting of my Rho Chi. I had an ok time and got a bid on bid day. Bid day celebration was a blur, I can't remember what happened for the life of me, that's how disconnected I was. I was happy because it was the same sorority my cousins were in during their college years, but other that that was just chill about everything. I was still very hesitant about joining and did not move in house or pay a great deal of my dues. That put me on financial bad standing and therefore could not go through initiation. And that's when I realised how loosing my sorority would be really bad.

I eventually was initiated in a different pledge class when it was discussed with nationals by my president. And still, I was in, but did not participate as much. I went to some things and chapter meetings but really was not putting much effort into being a member.

This school year I moved into house. And OMG, it's so much different and worth it. I cannot imagine ever resigning or anything of the like. Living in house makes you grow so much closer to your sisters in the best way possible. It doesn't seem like a chore to participate in things, to really feel the values of the sisterhood.

I suggest you wait and see what happens. Be more positive, keep an open mind. Don't be a downer to everyone else. And if they aren't the top house on campus, so what? We aren't either, but in the year and a half I have been a part of this we have improved, and it takes everyone's attempt and attitude to do so. So do your part and don't think you can't change anyone. Your sorority is what you make it. So make it great. If you don't live in house this semester, go over and hang out more often. Be proud to wear your letters, not everyone can.

And if not, then I guess you can resign, but you'd loose so much. But on the other hand, don't spend the rest of your time in the sorority complaining about money and housing and other people. I live in house and still manage to see my friends from the dorms and my organisations.

It really is all your choice, just be positive if you stay in.
