I find that if girls get involved and really start interacting with other sisters, that's when you REALLY come to see what the sorority really stands for and what it's values mean.

To be honest with you, I truthfully didn't understand "Faithful Unto Death" until I REALLY got involved. It's not something you can experience just sitting back on the sideline. I didn't know what it meant to be "Faithful Unto Death" until I started to form relationships with my sisters.

There's no way I would have really connected with what we stood for just by going to chapter meeting, paying dues, and going home.

It's not instant, but as you stick around, you finally get to understand what it's all about.

I found this to be especially true as well. Co-sign on the get involved bandwagon. What aspects of being in a sorority drew you to Greek Life in the first place? What attracted you to your chapter? I'm guessing that it wasn't their social calendar, so you obviously selected this chapter for another reason. Was it the close-knit sisterhood? If so, volunteer to help plan a sisterhood event. Or if your chapter has a Sunshine/sisterhood chair or committee, ask if you could help out. (Our Sunshine Chair was always busy with birthday cards, creating little gifts, etc. and loved when people stepped up to help.) Was it your chapter's amazing annual philanthropy? Ask if you can help organize it.

You get the idea. Figure out what it was that drew you into Greek Life and made you select your chapter. Helping out with things you enjoy is not only fun, but will also help you get to know sisters. It may also help you see the values that your sorority upholds.

It's on you to get involved and make the most of the commitment you've made to your sorority. Regardless, give it some time so you don't make a hasty decision you may later regret.
