Smile, I'm sorry things aren't going as well as you'd like. Obviously, I don't know you and know nothing about you, but I think that you should at least give it a chance.

I think that joining a sorority can be a little overwhelming at first, because you don't know anybody, and you might be expecting feelings that you won't necessarily have right away -- just because all these women are suddenly your sisters doesn't mean that you feel this bond with them. That takes time, and if you give it time, maybe you will grow to become the closest of friends with some of these women -- the only way to find out is to give it a chance. You went through rush to meet people, and you met people, and they like you, and now you have the wonderful chance to see what happens from there, and in the process you may develop friendships and do all kinds of fun things.

I definitely don't think you should drop out because you're not sure and you're afraid of offending the other members. If you give it a chance and it doesn't end up working out, there is no reason for anybody to be offended. I also don't think anybody would hate you if you drop out, but they may be sad because after all, they liked you enough to invite you to be their sister. However, I don't think that should stop you from dropping out if that is what you REALLY want.

I would suggest that you spend some time here (if you haven't already) reading messages that members of GLOs have written about their experiences with fraternities and sororities. I think you will see that being in a sorority is definitely worthwhile and rewarding, and many, many positive things can come of it -- friendship, leadership skills, community involvement, study skills, parties, etc.

Let us know what you decide -- either way, we're here for you and will support you!
