vanity fair,

I can say my situation was very much like yours. I dont think i felt truly at home with my chapter until I moved in to the house. While i never seriously considered dropping or depledging, I can relate to not feeling like I fit in with my pledge sisters.

Having said that, I found other ways to get involved in the chapter outside of my pledge class. I joined exec board the semester after initiation and I am now chapter president. I sometimes think about how awkward I felt in those first few months, but what you get out of Greek life is what you put in to it. I chose to give it my all and it has been the most beautiful, rewarding, exciting, decision I have ever made for myself.

Think long and hard before you pass up on something that might be just as great.

I think I know what university this is. I would heed the advice of others on this board and make an honest effort to try to get to know the ladies of the chapter and your pledge class. If by initiation day you still feel this way, then I would say quit, but note this chapter that extended you a bid may be your only chance of being greek. If you choose to quit and particpate in recruitment again next spring, do be prepared for the high possibility of not receiving a bid anywhere. De-pledging and being a sophomore will be big strikes against you.
