You are experiencing the Unicorns Pooping Rainbows syndrome. You made a choice and then it turns out these girls are human. They're not perfect, they aren't oh my god so much like you, and they are no longer kissing your feet every time you walk through the door.

If you want to depledge and take your chances again in a year, that is your prerogative, but you should know that the chances that you'd be feeling the exact same thing with the other group is very likely. It might be they drink too much, study too much, are too into their hair, but there would be something, or a list of things that turn you off about that group as well.

There are a couple issues to consider about your decision. How many women are in this chapter? If it's 20 and you are feeling like they're all religious, that's one thing. If there are 100 and you think that, you're most likely wrong and you just need to make an effort to meet more members.

To answer your questions about will it be awkward, of course it will be. You have to assume that none of these girls will be your friend anymore. After all, you are telling them in no uncertain terms that you don't like them. And there is no guarantee, regardless of what anyone tells you, that you will be invited to join the sorority that actually does have unicorns pooping rainbows. By choosing another sorority, you put the good chapter as second best, and now you will have proven yourself to be a flake.

So drop out if you're miserable but I would assume that this is the end of the line for your Greek life. It could turn out differently, but I wouldn't go forward planning on that. Sorry.

HAHAHA, thank you, this is great. Maybe we need an "unwritten rush rules" thread where this can go next to Murphy's Law of Rush Crushes.

OP did get "a part" right, though. Shocking.

Oh, I know that many sororities are Fraternities, though I rather doubt that the OP knows that. And "frats"?

Just making an observation. Draw from it what you will.

Sounds like a troll even if she is sincere.
