Only reason I did not join was because here at my university specifically it's not top tier. I'm very involved in non-sorority stuff and no not need a sorority to feel involved, so I figured if I'm gunna be in one, it might as well be a good one. I'm not sure what to do

Um.

Did you just say you are having FOMO over colors?

But in all seriousness: You need to give things some time.

If you were not 100% sure of your decision, you are going to have SOME initial "did I do the right thing?" going on. Recruitment is an intense week and you're making a lot of decisions really quickly.

Some steps to determine if you made the right decision:

1. Log off of social media.

2. Stop the constant flood of snapchats/instagram posts, etc. of what everyone in sorority B is doing.

(Seriously. That is where most kids get FOMO. When dinosaurs roamed the Earth, we could only get FOMO from actually SEEING Sorority B out and about or seeing pics on website. You have a constant eye into every single second of every single person's activity within this sorority.)

3. Actually make an effort to get to know folks in sorority A.

5. See if you still feel the same way in 3 weeks.

6. If yes, re-evaluate.
