initiation
by: helpHi, I went Alpha Phi and am really unhappy. I have no friends and don't share common interests with them. The problem is I have already been initiated, but I want to rush because I was a COB so i never got the chance to. Is it possible to just quietly drop and rerush in the fall? I know I could be much happier in a sorority that puts more emphasis on sisterhood events and school work than on going out.

You cheated yourself, you could've found this answer with a quick google search. You can drop if you're unhappy but there's no re-rushing

I don't really have great advice, but I bet there are some others that feel the same way you do. If you could somehow find those sisters who would like to see some positive improvements maybe you could help the sorority move forward. I also feel certain that every sorority probably has girls that feel out of place or feel like they don't belong. I hope you find friends in your sorority and they can become the sisterhood you (and every one of us) look for in a sorority. I sincerely send best wishes to you.

My advice would be to stay in the chapter!! Try and improve it. It's your first year and a lot of people won't admit it but they hate it the first year too!! Try and join the officer committee and improve your sisterhood events/ academics! Talk to your president and tell her these things. Don't give up just yet

Once initiated always a member. I would follow the advice of trying to find members you have more in common with. Sororities all have the more dominant/outgoing (for lack of a better word) sisters and often it seems like they are representative of everybody. They are not.
To the poster who said this is fake, I'm not so sure it is. She didnt insult aphi, she just said she felt she didnt fit in and said why. Should she have named them? No, but that's really the only flaw in the post.
#5 by: Give it a Chance
A house isn't everything but it does, IMO, help with group identity. I would give it a chance once they have their house and more activities are scheduled in and around the house. Maybe even try moving into the house? I know sometimes girls are disappointed because their house didn't live up to their expectations and projections. Once you pledge, it is for life. APhi is strong nationally and worst case, if you don't feel it with your chapter, you may find the sisterhood you are looking for later in your local alum group.

I think if OP was a real member of Alpha Phi she would not have called them out and said that they don't care about sisterhood (which I feel is false, my roommate is an Alpha Phi and she always talks about how great they all get along.) That sounds very suspicious idk one person who would put their sorority on blast, I have problems within mine sometimes but I would never in a million years call them out like that. Seems very fake. And like another poster said, you could easily google and find your answer. Such a strange post. I just wish we could all get along without bringing others down.

people with nothing else to do but bash the new sorority.
Establishing a new group is not easy and not for everyone. Very sad if these are real people who think publicly bashing friends is an honorable thing to do.
Just sad for you peeps either way.

only like 5 people have been initiated this semester and it was people who could not attend initiation last semester due to their classes. If you know a COB who has been initiated, they aren't recent and were probably COBed soon after bid day.
