My advice is to step it up and be an adult. In life, we don't often work with people we like but need to make it work. Connect with your pledge sisters. I'm sure you will find something in common with someone. Remember, being in a sorority is not about 2-4 years. It's a lifetime commitment.

I never even considered not accepting the bid? Or dropping out? I trusted the fact that those girls chose me - I was just having trouble adjusting.

I felt uncomfortable at first and I wasn't sure how it would work out. It IS a lot of money to pay if you're not happy - but I certainly wasn't considering dropping out. And not because I'm a junior and wouldn't get a bid...

but because these ladies put time and effort into getting to know me and choosing me for their chapter. That's worth something to me. I didn't approach joining lightly.
