new pledge class

What house? Ill tell you if its normal

It's normal! Don't worry or second guess.

Normal if youre trapped in Phi Mu. Good luck with that.

It’s been 2 days, chill! Everyone is nervous and probably feeling the same way as you. Find someone random and try to be their friend.

Normal!! Everyone is a stranger!! Just throw out welcoming vibes, say Hi, introduce youself and work yhd small talk. It takes a few weeks. Go to everything and soon you will start feeling more comfortable.

Sadly, Greek organizations have become so too large that dynamics such as this pop up as they do in any large group. There are rush classes at Alabama this year larger than the average sorority size at many universities.

It’s totally normal! When I joined my chapter, I felt like other girls had these instant connections, and fit right in (like they were meant to be) while I didn’t have any of those connections or feelings. This resulted me in being MIA (to the very extent possible) during my New Member period. Things started turning around when I got my pledge family (who weren’t people I was expecting obviously b/c I didn’t know many people then but soon I felt so comfortable), and really when I ran for a position in the house, and got more involved, ultimately becoming chapter president. It sounds cliche but it’s really what you give it. Give yourself and your chapter some time. Keep an open mind, mingle (even if it’s hard sometimes), and put yourself out there. Maybe it’ll help once you get a pledge family (even if they might not be people you know initially). And if you still don’t like it, you have options. But really, just give yourself and the chapter some time; you’re there for a reason.

I just read about the part about chapter members being unfriendly! I’m sorry to hear that. Maybe everyone’s in a bit of a weird position trying to get to know people, and are overwhelmed. They might just come off that way or maybe you feel like they’re more friendly to others than you. Give it some time! I’m sure it’s just the buzz of recruitment week still lingering!

Completely normal! I didn’t find my group until second semester. A lot of the girls may already know each other, but a lot of them don’t! Give it time. I promise you will find your clique.
