I agree with what everyone else said. I think one of the most important lessons that you learn being greek is that you won't always get along with everyone, but sometimes you have to in order for the organization to operate. This happens as an adult in the "real world" I don't necessarily like everyone I work with, but I have work with them in order for my office to operate.
Everything will be ok, things might turn out differently than you expect.

ETA: like honeychile said, there were girls that I didn't really care for, that other girls voted on but I didn't. One of them ended up being my direct sister in my family line. I learned to love her, and I would do anything for her.

I agree with everyone else. It's impossible for you to be bestest friends with EVERY SINGLE girl in your sorority.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. Recruitment is a mutual section process between you and the sororities. There's no guarantee that you and this girl will end up getting invited back to the same chapters every day.

I agree with the others on this--miles to go yet. Plus, you wouldn't want everyone in your house to be the same, anyway. We had a few drama queens in my chapter and it was not a large chapter so we alllllll had to get along to some degree. One of my pledge sisters drove us all up the wall because she was so histrionic about everything. But deep down, she was a good person and we all figured out how to work around the personality. Dramatic people can add energy, passion, and enthusiasm to a chapter, all of which are pluses for recruitment and chapter spirit.

Assuming both of you do get into this particular house, you'll just find your way. Keep an open mind. Perhaps she has strengths and interests you'll have in common with her. I certainly was not friends with just the same 3 sisters for 4 years--I was constantly discovering new things about the other girls in the house, and I learned a lot about how wonderful they all were in their own way.

What everyone else said. Chill out. You aren't in any sorority yet. Even if you and the drama queen don't join the same chapter, there will be people you don't like. This is true of any organization, college class, job, etc.

I've always thought this is one of the prime lessons of Greek life, although I think of it a little differently -- as learning to call people you don't like all that much "brother" or "sister" and mean it.
