What BraveMaroon said x100.
Having a great big sis should be icing on the cake, so to speak. Having a nonexistent one shouldn't induce crying. Likewise, a great sorority experience can be a really wonderful thing in your college life, but it cannot - and should not - be the reason for your happiness.
It is a natural, common thing to deal with overwhelming emotions at the beginning of your college career, and many women deal with depression at some point in their lives. Please seek some counseling at your school. Your happiness and resilience needs to come from within, not without.
Good luck, sweetie.
