Hi there Luckystar.

Glad we were able to help, and that you decided to stay. As mentioned before, sorority membership is for a lifetime. You'll look back at this and not regret your decision.

Congratulations on your decision! Remember, it's normal to have ups and downs throughout your collegiate membership, or to think about turning in the towel. It's especially common right after initation, your first year after initiation, and your senior year-- all for various reasons. But the more involved you are-- maybe serve as an officer in either a large or less time-consuming office (IE:maybe serve as chairman for a philanthropy event your sorority has entered or you're a Day Chair for one of the days of recruitment), come to a few socials and flag football games, etc., make an effort to call people and come around-- you'll see you are enjoying it so much more!

Sorority Life isn't something everyone enjoys-- some realize that after they've pledged or initiated. It can be really hard to be surrounded by women all the time (a man's dream, no doubt!), but there are a lot of personality conflicts that can come into play, varying levels of maturity to consider, bad decisions, etc. Working in a group, as a leader and as part of a team won't always be easy, either-- but this experience has equipped you for the working world and some of the situations or personality clashes you have experienced will lead you worlds above the rest who haven't had that experience and aren't equipped to handle that pressure or conflict.

Again, good for you for working through your decision and taking the time to make the best choices for YOU!
