Realistically, I believe these are your options:

1. Stay where you are and deactivate from your sorority.

2. Stay where you are and try to make the best of being a part of the sorority you initiated into. Even if you still decide your chapter is not a good fit for you, keep in mind that college is only 4 years out of the rest of your life. I've been an involved DZ for 19 years, and the vast majority of those have been spent as an alumna.

3. Transfer to a school that does not have a chapter of your sorority and take alumna status (most sororities will, I believe, let you do this if your new school doesn't have a chapter).

4. Transfer to a school that does not have a chapter of your sorority, deactivate and just put the whole NPC thing behind you.

5. Transfer to a school that has a chapter of your sorority and affiliate there. Depending, of course, on what your sorority's policy on transferring is.


This may not be a popular opinion but, if you are *extremely* set on being in an NPC sorority (I don't know how badly you want to be in one) and you don't want to stay at your current school, your best bet is #5.

Whatever you decide, good luck!

Unless I missed something, you are in college for an education, not to be a member of a sorority. I don't care if you were forced, or just regret accepting your bid, but you are locked in with the NPC situation.
Can we just sticky this quote? I find is particularly applicable to pretty much ALL of us who at some point have found fault with our GLO.

If you don't like your GLO and you can't find a way to live with it, then cancel your membership!

Yes, do try to make it work, but if it makes you miserable and there's no other alternative, walk away! You are in college for an education. Make that your priority, and you can still engage in an active social life with the 100s of other campus organizations at your college!
