where did everyone pref?

I prefed at AXO and DG too! Where did you end up @excited??? I ended up in DG and everyone I've met is awesome so far :D

My roommate and I both preffed at AOPi! I also had SK and AXO and she had Phi Mu and ZTA. I can't wait to find out where I end up!!!!

Tough love here. You'd be eligible, but your chances next year are slim to none. Word will get out that you resigned your new membership with another chapter, and you're likely to get released from every house for that reason alone unless someone on the inside is pulling for you. It's also unlikely you'll get place in a higher tiered chapter next year. You're better off to stick it out with AGD if you want a sorority experience.

I'm just putting it out there. You are Never going to be happy in AGD or anywhere unless you give them a really fair shake. From the tone of your post, you seem determined to hate it. I promise, you WILL find friends there! Why did you want to rush? Find friends? You will! Social opportunities? You'll get those. Live in the house? AGD is the prettiest one on Milledge. All of those things can be found there, so please, just give them a fair chance. There are some fantastic girls there! I wish you the best of luck and lots of happiness!

How much higher are AGD dues compared to everyone else?

I went into recruitment with an open mind, but I just felt like every conversation I had at AGD was forced and awkward and I didn't meet anyone I could see myself being friends with so its disappointing that I ended up there. I'll give them a fair chance though and consider all my options more before making a decision. Thanks for the advice guys! So if I want to successfully rush next year, I'd need to have good friends in other houses? Also I heard their dues are around $2000 a semester

Disappointed, my daughter received a bid from AGD in 2014. She also had reservations, primarily brought on by "rankings" and "tiers". She decided to give it a chance and she has never looked back. She has made life long friends and has had a great time. As far as cost goes, the first semester is a bit more pricey because of the international initiation fees, but that's only first semester and it's not $2,000 (not sure what it was, but I would have remembered if it was that much). AFter that, it is much more reasonable. Also, living in the house and eating your meals at the house during your sophmore year is less expensive than living in dorm and being on UGA meal plan your freshman year. I'm glad you are going to give it a try for a few weeks. Good luck.

I so wish I could meet you @dds!! You seem to be one of the very few on this site who give actual useful information. Thank you!

I'm in the same situation but with DPhiE. I'm trying to stay optimistic but I was bored at bid day last night and haven't met any DPhiEs that I could see myself being friends with. I want it to get better but I'm not going to stay in a sorority where I'm miserable... How long should I stick it out before dropping?

@disappointed,

You really need to hear from a young lady that has been through what you are going through. I'll offer you a dad's advice and wisdom for what it's worth.

First, you need to recognize that this past week has likely been the most emotional week of your life. You couple that with the fact this is the first time you are living away from home and you have just started college! Bottom line, you are too emotional right now to make a rationale, good decision. Give it a couple of weeks. I'd focus more on the girls in your pledge class more than the existing members. You have an immediate bond because you are all in the same boat. If you find some pledge sisters you click with, share with them how you are feeling. They may feel the same way. Talk it out with them. While there are about 280 young ladies in the sorority I'm assuming, you will be closest with your pledge sisters. Give it a couple of weeks. Your emotional dust will have settled some by then, and you can think more clearly.

Also, put it all in perspective. There are about 5500 young ladies that are in the freshman class. About 1600 go through rush. About 15% skip and laugh their way through Rush and get their top choice. About 300 young ladies don't get a bid or drop out. So that leaves the other 65% that didn't get their first choice. You are in the majority so son't feel alone.

Two weeks is not a long time, but if you are really feeling it's not right for you, it's ok. good luck
