Dropping?

[DubaiSis]

Did you think the starting from scratch, this is a lot more responsibility than being a regular pledge, opportunity to build your own traditions was a lie? I don't believe you weren't told any of this. On the other hand, it is not unusual to to have "buyer's remorse" for lack of a better word, and there are undoubtedly girls who committed to a sorority during formal rush who wish they'd held out for the colony. And to be perfectly clear, just because you drop out of your colony doesn't mean an older chapter on campus will want you. PLUS, you will have proven that you don't have any desire to work hard to make the most of your sorority membership. Just because colony membership is hard doesn't mean older chapters are free of responsibility.

I would consider your options the colony or nothing. While there's a CHANCE you could make it into another sorority, I wouldn't plan on it.

Before you make your decision, keep this in mind:

Let's say you drop and re-rush through formal recruitment and don't get into the sorority you want (or any) and then you're left without being in a sorority at all. Is the risk worth it? You decide.

I don't know what school you're at, but sometimes people that drop from pledging to re-rush or being an upperclassmen hurts your chances of getting a bid.

If you DO decide to drop and re-rush, I'd suggest making sure your grades are good, getting recs to all the sororities (who knows if one you hadn't previously considered ends up being a fav?), and most importantly make friends with sorority members.

Personally, I'd stick it out though. Just seems like less work/hassle and usually people that stick it out end up loving their sorority. Just my 2 cents
