dropping out
by: DropWhat are the pros and cons of dropping out of my sorority? I joined last semester and went through initiation, but I've realized that their values and interests don't align with mine. I feel like I would be better off alone than with people who are almost the total opposite of who I am.

Cons: you can never rush and join a sorority again, no more fun activities, you will not hang out with your sisters after you quit, less connections
Pros: being around people you do not want to be around, no dues
I think you should give it a second semester. Everyone does not form bonds immediately with each other (it can take awhile for some people). Also, it does not look like you commit to something long term. If you really did try everything you could, then I would quit.

I believe she was implying you didn't commit fully to the sorority or you wouldn't want to drop. Not bagging on you personally just making an observation. Most people that are all in on Greek life don't want to drop

To drop: leave her the hell alone. Unless you know very personally why she doesn't want to do something, don't attack her morals by saying she didn't want to be in it really be in it. Unless you know every aspect of her life, you have no right to do that little cyber bullying thing you just did.
To OP: I wish I would have dropped. If you want to truly drop, then do it. Just know you'll hurt feelings and friendships in the process. Give it one more semester, then if by the end of the fall semester, make it clear to them that you wish to end your membership with them. Just give it more time I would say. The first semester is such a rush, that you don't really know how to feel

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I wound up telling my big and a few of my closer friends in the sorority and they helped me remember why I joined in the first place. I'm staying and taking it one step at a time.

I will, I've gotten to know a lot of really awesome people, and I couldn't loose them. After all, where else would I find such awesome people?

agreed and honestly football season in greek life is a great time (obvi not the only reason to go greek but still), so I'd stick around. You'll connect with a lot more people.

How does wanting to drop out of an organization signify that I don't commit to things long term? I played piano for ten years, I've been in the same organization for fifteen years. I only quit on things that violate my beliefs.
