I'm a freshman at a big University where sorority recruitment is a pretty big deal. I rushed this year, and was disappointed in the choices that I had left for pref night. My Rho G's encouraged me to give the two houses a shot, and I ended up in a house that seemed like it could end up being a good fit. I decided to give it a try, and to see how I felt later on.

Well, it's now a week before initiation and I really don't feel like this house is the perfect fit for me. The girls in my pledge class are all so different that there seems to be no way we can all come together as a group. I haven't really connected with any of the girls, although I have tried to get to know them. Don't get me wrong, they're all very nice. I just don't have any sort of friend connection with hardly any of them. Most of the girls in the house are really hard partiers, which isn't really me. I don't want to be grouped into a category with girls who have such different values. The house has the lowest GPA on campus, which is something that really bothers me. These reasons and more are making me consider dropping. If my heart isn't completely in something that's such a time and money commitment, I'd rather not be involved with it.

But the thing is, I really want to be in a sorority!! The whole sorority thing matches my personality so well, I just didn't find the right house the first time around. Is there any chance at all that I would be able to make it into a house rushing next year? I already accepted a bid, not to mention rushed last year... and I'll be a sophomore. All cards will be against me, but is there any chance that I'd be able to make it into a more fitting house?

Additional Details
I know the only reason I'd be staying in the house would be because I'm so intimidated by the statistics. I've been told that it will be very very hard to get into a house I want next year. But I've always followed the quote "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." So, I don't know... Any advice?
Why Gee, I don't know. What did the people on Yahoo!Answers say?
