There are a few things I think about, but as a whole I do not regret my decision.
I just joined Pi Phi this year, (my 3rd year of school) but I really so have 2 more years due to changing majors, etc.
I regret not having as much time to spend with my sisters in our undergrad days, and that I don't have much time to hold an office.
However, looking back to my freshmen and soph years of college I was a completely different person. I probably would have joined another sorority that I thought I wanted (because I fit a "stereotype" and knew girls from high school who were members so I would have the connection) and would have been miserable in the end. I got to meet some of the best friends of my life those two years without being in a sorority. Some of these girls are in other chapters and some are not involved with Greek life at all. I am still friends with these girls and it has helped me to be more open to the Greek community as a whole through friendships with girls in other houses.
Also, when I went through recruitment I was able to decide which house was TRULY for me and not based on apperances or where my friends were.
I have met some of the most amazing women by joining a sorority, but I am able to have a life outside of it.
I guess I don't regret it because I am extremely happy with my sisters and with my college experience as a whole. Joining a sorority was something I always wanted to do and these amazing women are my sisters for life. I might not see all of them as often when I graduate as I do know, but we share a sisterhood that is really strong and I know that many of them would be there for me for the rest of my life no matter what! I think you should focus on the present and what you DO have, instead of the hypothetical things you may or may not have missed out on.
