There are two things I wanted to add to the discussion.

First, it's human nature for people to want to group together ("get cliquey") in response to being put into a new situation (joining a new organization). It helps make a group of 70 go down to a group of 7. For the most part, time fixes that and people usually get over themselves. Like others here have mentioned, be the best Cutiexxxhail you can be. There was a reason they selected you for membership, they must have liked you at some point or another.

Also, I'm wondering how much this actually has to do with having second thoughts about the sorority more than anything else. The first thing you mentioned was being torn between two sororities during rush and you're wondering if you made the right choice. Are you now going around looking for reasons why your current sorority was the wrong choice in order to make the other sound like it would have been better after all?

For example, say a kid's parents send him to summer camp. Inside, he's worried that he won't make friends and he's feeling a little homesick. Instead of admitting to himself "I'm feeling a little unsure", he's phoning home and telling his parents that the camp is lame, there are too many bugs, the food is gross, his counselor is a dork, and the camp t-shirts are corny. Meanwhile, everyone else is having a great time. It's not the camp, it's him.

If that starts to sound familiar to you, you might like to recognize that maybe you're just feeling uncertain at the moment. Try not to focus on what's wrong, but what's right and what you *can* do.

Just give it some more time. Like KSUViolet06 said, it's only been a few weeks. If you have to, go to a sister you like (perhaps your new member educator) and explain to her that you're feeling a little left out and ask if she has any advice.

I hope everything works out for you!

.....Kelly
