#1 - bring your own fun
#2 - there are no unicorns pooping rainbows, so get over it.
#3 - rush is fake. It is just about the worst way in the world to make friends, but it is the system we're stuck with. You made judgements about a house when your total talk time with them was approximately 1 1/2 hours. If you're on the campus I think you're on, we're talking a chapter size of well over 100 women, and you're basing the decision that will affect friendships for the entire rest of your life on a rumor? I hate to tell you, but academic standards are too high for any party girl rumors to be very true. At best they are really fun which translates poorly when repeated, particularly through jealousy by the originator, and at worst there are a couple girls who slept with the wrong guys. And I hate to tell you but every chapter house has their share of girls who sow their wild oats while in college. My chapter was practically a convent and we still had girls who slept with any and every guy she could. And if you're talking drugs or alcohol, refer to the above. Even the most lily white of sororities will have girls who develop problems with these things when gaining their freedom from Mom and Dad.
#4 - if you're going to be all pouty with your new sisters and expect them to beg you to stick around, you are sorely mistaken. Refer to #1.

Always begs repeating. And, stands true for any group you join.

And, friendships aren't just formed during college. I was only close with two SAI sisters during my collegiate days, but my alumnae chapter, as a whole is very close. I have an immediate connection with any sisters I meet now. Had I depledged (because my pledging was difficult) or resigned my membership (because my chapter was struggling) I wouldn't have the connection with so many fantastic women all over the world.
