But anywaaaaays.
I know it sounds flaky and like I don't want to commit. That's not true. I really do want to get involved on campus and be in greek life. I just REALLY don't want to go today. I can't even explain how much I don't want to. Maybe I'm not as into all this sorority stuff as I thought, or maybe it just takes a while to get into it. I think I'm just going to make myself go...I might as well. I don't want to regret it later. :/

Two things here.
1) Why is it that you don't want to go? If it's a situation similar to what Drolefille described, this is a life lesson. In the real world you will HAVE to attend meetings and such where you WILL have to interact with others. This is a good time to learn how to. When I first got to college I had a hard time with social situations and would dread them...and usually latch on to someone more outgoing as a front. But joining a sorority quickly taught me how to get past that. I'm now able to work a room with ease and though part of it is confidence, most of the credit is due to my time as a collegian. If it's because you're lazy or would rather hang out with your friends...quit. I would say stay because you need to learn now (not when you're fired from your first job because you just didn't feel like showing up sometimes) to get over yourself, but I don't think it's appropriate to use a chapter of girls that actually give a shit to do that.
2) All that being said, no matter what your excuse is this is life. As someone else said your list of DON'T WANT TOs will get longer every year, and you'll have to do those things anyway. That's part of being a big kid. Whether you stick with it or not you need to force yourself to start behaving like an adult so that you get into the habit before you graduate and fall on your face in the real world.
For the record, it IS flaky and it does sound like you don't want to commit. Whatever you decide, if you have this little interest in the sorority come initiation, don't hurt those girls that do care by becoming deadweight.
