I felt like I was the odd one out in my new member class as well. I just kept showing up and making an effort, but my closest friends were women in older and then younger classes. I agree with nutbrnhair, you're joining the larger sisterhood and if the lack of inclusion with your class is your only reason for considering not going through initiation then my best advice is to consider carefully. Over the years I felt like I was included a bit more with my class, and it doesn't always start off great. Over a decade later I'm still making friends in my sorority.
