After pledging a sorority, I googled their name to find their site...and I discovered they were involved in a scandal last year. It looks as if everyone hates them.

I'm not sure what to think of them because I'm shy. So, I have had a hard time getting to know them.
Any advice from people who have been through this? How long would it take to rebuild their reputation?
I know nobody can tell me what to do, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. I've been so confused on what I should do. I want to give them a chance but I want to be part of an organization that people respect. I guess I'm just trying to find someone who has joined a sorority in a scandal and has ended up loving their sisters and improving.
Oh, and how come people tend to support fraternities more than sororities when both are involved in a scandal with eachother?
