Ggirl-

I think you are in a good place. You seem to me to be open minded and willing to make a difference. Good for you! Enjoy your new membership experience get to know your fellow PNM's AND active sisters- try to keep your new member class together. You may be the start of a strong Chapter on campus. Run for an office in your new member class and make a difference. You will reap many rewards in the end. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

You can get to that place, but it may take time and a concerted effort on your part. You've only been a new member for what not, a few days?

I remember one of my pledge sisters telling me she didn't find the warm fuzzies until she moved into the chapter house and that was a whole year after she pledged. She confessed that until then she had simply viewed it as another club or activity that she'd committed to. But once she was immersed in sisterhood 24/7 it was like a light bulb had been turned on.

Point being, you are not the only sorority girl who has ever questioned her choice and has had doubts. Just remember everybody is different. Some girls are consumed by the bonds of sisterhood immediately on Bid Day. For others Initiation is a big turning point. Then others, like my pledge sister, take even longer. The common denominator though is always that key moment when a girl truly commits herself, then she can find meaningful sisterhood because that's when she actually became a sister and not someone who sits on the sidelines dwelling on the would of, could of, should of's.

Then let's move on and focus on what you're doing. What have you been doing so far with the actives and your new member class? Any all-Greek events planned? Made any great new friends who will help you get through the last two years of college? Give us THESE juicy details and then maybe you can shout from the rooftops if you're comfortable.

I agree with some of the previous sentiments and I was initially put off by some of the self-professed shallow comments. But GC is all about differing opinions and different experiences. Let's here more of yours now that the eyeliners have welcomed you with open arms.
