worth it?
by: NMI'm not in love with my house even though I'm trying really hard to be. (I just genuinely don't feel like I fit in). But I am in love with Alabama's Greek Life. Is it worth it to stick it out so that I have the freshman year Greek experience?

YES please stick it out! When I first pledged my house I was not over the moon... It was a house that I initially knew I "didn't want." But like you, I loved the idea of Greek life and wanted to be a part of it so I decided to give my house a chance. And at first it was definitely hard. It was hard seeing so many other girls click with one another right off the bat and it was hard seeing so many other girls in other houses talk about how much they loved their house right from the start. And when I initially rushed I truly didn't think my house "fit me" well.
But I kept with it. And it was 100% worth it. I honestly can't see myself in another house now and I now see that my house compliments my character and my standards extremely well.
I know the OP isn't the only new member feeling the same way... My biggest piece of advice is to give everything a chance. Put yourself out there and work for what you want. Sorority life is so amazing and can truly change your life but it's a two way street - what you put in is what you get out. Every house here is amazing and provides so much for thousands of girls. #panlove

The truth is that it requires effort to fit in ANYWHERE. Regardless of whether it's a dorm or a sorority. YOU have to make the effort to get to know the girls you surround yourself with. Most new members realize this after recruitment is over and the girls in the sorority stop pursuing them. The oos girls in OR houses have the most trouble but actually all girls have this trouble. Like people above said, you have to make the effort to get to know girls from your class and from your house. Call them, don't sit back expecting a call. And btw, forget what you thought about the rank of your house before you accepted a bid. Literally no one cares and we're all friends.

Yes because if you quit Greek life you must sit in your dorm at all time no fun ever. Like WTF YALL life goes on without Greek life. This is absurd. If you don't love it by initiation quit. It's not worth the time or money plus if you find yourself still wanting to be Greek you can rerush or cob next year.
