Did you choose the wrong sorority?

No but I wonder what would have happened if I went through earlier. I joined the Fall of my Sophomore year and joined a chapter where I had very close friends. I wonder what would have happened if I would have gone through formal my Freshman year as I would not be surprised if I ended up elsewhere just based on where my head was my freshman year and my lack of knowledge of anyone other than a handful of girls in each chapter. I think wonder how I would have turned out. I love my sorority so much and I love my sisters and I wonder if I would have been miserable if I had gone through formal and ended up somewhere else.

I do believe sometimes I picked the wrong chapter. Which is my fault of course I could have turned down my bid. I had a bunch of friends in a house on my campus, and seeing it from an outsiders point of view it seemed great. I rushed formal as a sophomore, but I really did give other chapters a chance. I actually would have rather joined another and have close friends in multiple house. But it worked out how it worked out and I am embracing the chance to have a house at all.

Lane-swerving here, but I just like to bring up this question:

Is it possible to choose the wrong sorority if you got all the experiences and bonding that you're supposed to get?

Perhaps there are multiple chapters that may have worked.

That said, I do know of a few friends at my college who went through formal recruitment, just didn't feel it during their pledging period, and dropped before initiation. One thing about all of those is that they wouldn't be on here today as they're no longer part of the Greek community.
