What you're feeling is not uncommon. There are always girls who second guess their choices.

I'd suggest talking to your New Member Educator about how you feel, maybe she can help.

Also, take time out to actually figure out if the chapter really is a "party" chapter.

Alot of times, when you first join a group, you think all everyone does is party, but what happens is that you haven't met the girls who don't.

It takes time for you to meet people in the chapter who share your interests, and you haven't been in the chapter long enough to do that.

It's impossible for every girl in the chapter to ONLY be interested in partying. So take the time to get to know more girls and you will probably find more girls with interests that are similar to yours.

So just relax, and enjoy yourself.

Also, consider that depending on your school, it may be difficult for you to receive a bid next year.

It's a good idea to stick it out, because you haven't been around long enough to meet people and get to know them.

I think sometimes right after recruitment there are a lot of parties/social events because fraternities and sororities both have new members, and both the new and old members are excited about that!
Maybe you can also try to spend more time with the women you met during recruitment that made you feel more comfortable at the house that you chose. I'll bet that there are many women in the chapter who do not party as much as others - but they may be more in the background, and you may have to seek them out.
