My chapter definitely did not have the social schedule that most of the sororities on campus had, which always bugged us. We had an exchange scheduled for one night with a fraternity we definitely did not dig. It also coincided with a chapter visit from an ELC. She completely berated us for being exactly what we didn't like about the fraternities who thought they were too good for us. She told us to put on our big girl pants, suck it up and have a good time regardless of the guys or the letters over the door. We did and we did and we did, and it is one of the more memorable exchanges for my 4 years in college.
So do THAT.
And by the way, with the nature of my chapter, I can't imagine us having an exchange every week. Some chapters had them more than once a week. That is a lot of pressure to be FUN. It would have been nice to have a couple more per semester to give us a more well-rounded social experience, but I don't regret being in a more subdued chapter probably seen as boring by the others.
If there are 10 fraternities on campus and you are mixing with the bottom 5 (sorry, in this conversation, I think ranking is the only way it will work), work on that #6 fraternity, not the #1 or #2. Invite #6 to work on your philanthropy with you or something else that isn't Homecoming or Greekweek. That's a lot to ask if they've never mixed with you before or in so long that nobody remembers.
