did anyone not find their home?

no one feels at home.

just look at girls insta's over the summer, they consisted of vacationing with themselves (really families, but they get their family to take a picture of themselves alone), or sorority friends "omg they came 8 hours to be with me"... like did you not have any high school friends?

same thing here, people just fake it. fake smilies on insta. fake likes. fake comments "omg so pretty" "omg can i be you". just look at some instas of girls that graduated...like a cobweb

it's just fake friends so you have stuff to do, then once they graduate lol it's a divorce

I didn't feel "at home" really until mid-way through my sophomore year when I took a little. My big was / is completely disinterested in me and all though I have a group of friends some of my closer ones are all in different houses. However, - Rush workshops really helped me get to know a lot of my sisters better and we all saw each other at our best and worst... then having a new pledge class to get to know really made me feel so much better about my house and my sisters. When I took a little I made a promise to be a better big then the one I had and have really gotten a lot out of being there for her and some of her pledge sisters. I sometimes wish they were my pledge class!! I think above poster is kind of correct- you may never feel truly at home- a lot of it is kind of fake because for one thing the chapters are just way too large!!! There is no way you are going to like and bond with everyone in your pledge class let alone your entire sorority. We definitely need more chapters here- but also I think I have come to see that being in a sorority is a whole lot bigger than feeling at home- it is being involved, having a core group of friends that you can laugh and cry with and having a so called "self identity"- I am an XYZ... it makes college easier.

I think this is a bigger problem than a lot of people want to admit. For one thing the sororities are just too big. Especially if you are an OOS student and come in without a base of friends already in your Sorority. I struggled for my Freshman year as an OOS student. I had no problem making friends outside of my sorority and was very involved in several organizations but just couldn't connect within the sorority to anyone. I eventually connected during recruitment practice with a small group and began to enjoy my sorority experience but it didn't seem to come naturally like it had in other organizations. I think because they are so big it's harder to find those girls you share similar interest with. The worst part is once you feel disconnected you don't really want to be there. The really sad part is you know with an organization that large there are people you would connect with and would enjoy spending time with but you just aren't in a situation where you can get to know them well enough or spend enough time with them to develop that circle of friendship.

You don't need to feel connected to the entire house. How could you, there are waaaayyyyy too many girls.
In mine, I found my close knit group of friends and honestly that's all you need. I am far OOS and knew no one coming into college. And I got exactly what I was looking for -- a small group of close friends. Would it be awesome if I were closer with more of the girls in my sorority, yes. But is that realistic, nope.
Don't worry, I think most girls feel exactly how you feel!I'm really glad that you found a group of great girlfriends. That's what matters and that's what you should focus more on.

no one will admit this, but ole miss is down right one of the most bitter places on earth. everyone is nice, yes. but people just aren't friendly.

nice = hey how are you and smiles
friendly = actually care about you and want's to hang out

people make a big deal of greek life here, but outside of this area if you mention you are in the greek system they just look at you as a loser who can't make friends.

greek system is required here or else we'd all be loners. but i agree with the first post it seems really fake, just so people have stuff to do and things to talk to. once people graduate, no one really keeps in touch at all
