Need honest advice

Another thing to consider: your campus has deferred recruitment. Many of us really bonded with our sisters (both our class and the whole chapter) during the recruitment process.

Hang in there! You have been given great advice about joining committees, living in the house if that is an option, etc. Continue to run for offices if that is your desire. Just because you were not selected this year does not mean that you won't be in the future. Allow your sisters to continue to get to know you, your strengths, and your passions. That goes a long way when it comes time to select officers.

In addition, there is this fairy tale opinion of sororities that everyone in the house will automatically be your "besties." That is not always the case, and it doesn't mean you can't still have a positive greek experience. Continue spending time with as many sisters as possible. Best of luck to you.

Oh, you mean once you are a member and having work week, planning etc. It's been an action-packed weekend and I'm a little slow on the uptake.

Yeah, that is what I meant. Once again I should refrain from typing with a 1 yr old and 3 yr old climbing all over me and I didn't make the post as clear as it should have been. Yes, I was referring to the time spent together planning, working, and recruiting the new members. Many, many members have expressed that this was when they truly cemented bonds within their chapter.

Plus, OP, you will get to be recruiting new members this year. You will not only have a say in who joins your chapter, but you can be the stellar Big Sis that you didn't have.
