Rachel, I'm glad you were able to look at it from the other side. Just remember-- if you don't communicate, people just assume you are apathetic. Also, if something is really important, a phone call is warranted. Don't rely on emails in an emergency situation.
There will be times when your heart wants to burst with love for your sisters and pride in KD, and there will be times living in the house when you get sucked into some girly girl drama and will want to despair. Just remember that in the end, this is a lifetime committment with fabulous benefits that can't be beat. There will be women you will meet from now and for all time who are members of your sorority, or of another sorority, and you will instantly have that connection of being Greek. Pursue this experience-- it will open doors and windows you didn't know existed! Right now, find your happy medium. And remember, if you feel ignored or not feeling the love, you need to make an effort, too--- Sisterhood is a just a longer word for "friendship." Paying dues isn't the equivalent of paying for friends, as we well know. So show your face and if things are happening in your life to prevent you from coming around, you don't need to broadcast every intimate detail as to why, but there should be someone-- a pledge class friend, a big sis, an exec board member-- a friend to turn to and advise where you are and what is happening in your life.
Good luck!
