nope- every house took pledge classes of over 100 girls with the exception of XO- if you don't have anything in common with at least 4 or 5 girls out of 100- the problem is YOU not your new house.

I'm going to disagree with the lovely people above. You should do your house a favor and drop immediately.

Obviously, after less than 24 hours, you'd know that you are so much better than the other 100+ girls in your pledge class, and there's no point in continuing. They will be perfectly fine without you.\n\n\n\n\n

Your new house has roughly 400 sisters. It takes time to feel at home (despite the rah rah talk of rush) and get to know who you click with and learn about opportunities that use your expertise within the house. You have a number of weeks before you would officially join and for the next year you are pledged to your current house. What that means is you have time to learn more about the sorority and also nothing to lose if you take a few weeks to do that.

I will also say that that chapter wanted YOU. They saw your attributes and wanted to spend more time with you. They knew you would be an asset. I highly encourage you to give it a shot. Sometimes with recruitment we're set up to think it's going to be an incredible connection once you "find your home," but in real life relationships take more time than that.

The above posters are correct. If you can't find something in common with someone/anyone in a sorority with memeberships of 400+ girls - the problem is you. You probably think you are too good for them - but that means you would be letting the tier talk of the immature high schoolers (and their Moms) deprive you of a Greek Life experience - which means you are also an immature high schooler and probably aren't in the right sorority for you.

Of course you should de-pledge if you think you can't find anything in common with the other girls. Just remember that ultimately, THAT house wanted you more than every other house you visited through recruitment, and if those other houses wanted you that badly, you'd be there instead.

You can try Informal, or rush next year as a sophomore, but your results will be similar. Most houses, once they cut you, will cut you again. I feel pretty confident that the house you currently have will pass, and others might too, just because you've already gone through, got a bid, and turned it down.

Now, on cue, someone's gonna come on here and blow smoke up your ass about how they re-rushed as a sophomore and got the perfect house that they wanted, but I assure you that they are either the luckiest person alive, or they are lying.

On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with choosing not to be Greek at all.

Can't do informal. She's tied to her sorority for a full year. Doubt she'll have better results in formal as a sophomore. One and done. Suck it up, buttercup.

You don't have anything in common with hundreds of women and you've already met them all? Oh ok.
