I understand that you felt uncomfortable at first, but you have to remember, that sense of feeling "at home" with your new sorority doesn't develop overnight. For some girls, it might, but for others it takes time and effort to get to know people. You should stick it out for a couple more weeks and then decide whether or not you want to drop. There's no harm in going through the new member period, and you may just find that your uncomfortable-ness will go away once you get to know your new sisters. I would encourage you to attend lots of sorority events and put yourself out there. They gave you a bid, they obviously saw something they like in you. You should give them the same chance. I think if you put in the time and effort and give it an honest chance, you will feel more comfortable as time goes on.

Depending on your school, re-recruitment after accepting a bid and then dropping can be impossible. Regardless of your GPA, involvement, and resume, you will be a sophomore which makes things harder, and then there's the fact that you got a bid and then dropped it. Sororities will see this as a lack of commitment or see it as you thought you were too good for them. I guarantee you that sisters in your chapter have friends in all the other chapters. Word will get around. This could be your only chance at sisterhood, so I think you should just give it a shot and if you really hate it, drop before initiation but know that it could likely be your only chance at Greek Life.
