Considering dropping out
I'm considering dropping out of my sorority. I know that there have been other posts about this in the past but I feel like they don't completely relate to my situation.
I've been in this for awhile, held several positions, been active at events, connected with a few sorority sisters. Sororities on my campus are very small, none of us even have our own house. But at the same time, there are always sororities that are considered the "it" ones. My sorority isn't bad but we're not considered popular/hot. And I've mostly always been okay with that. Since our last pledge class, we have been recruiting more girls that have the popular "look" but their personalities are so terrible. They joined and formed a clique among themselves and are very exclusive. They cause so much unnecessary drama and always talk behind people's backs. In addition, they are a bad image for us, going out constantly to parties and getting drunk.
This year during recruitment (and I apologize in advance because of our small chapters since recruitment is very different for us), the VPs of recruitment and the president agreed to only allow those who are "outgoing" or with the "it" look to talk to girls. All the other girls, including some who I guess you can call more senior than these new girls, were put aside/hidden. They feel this is necessary in order to be competitive with other chapters. I am so ashamed of this and I don't know what to do. I have felt the need to drop in the past but because of this and more recent drama involving these girls I feel it is reinforced. Is it common for sororities to hide some of their individuals? Sometimes I feel they only want our membership to increase the amount of members we have and to take our money. Please help.
