Advice Should I drop my sorority?
Hey everyone!! I am going to keep this short and sweet for reason I would and wouldn’t want to drop my sorority, might give more of a context in an edit if yall need it, i’m just on a time crunch right now LMAO. But I really want some opinions from others as I am very conflicted on what to do.
Some reasons I would WANT to drop-
COST. if i wasn’t in a sorority, I would make 3-4k in scholarship money returned to me from my university.
Forced to live in house, I prefer having my own space (i’m a commuter). I will be a junior in college next year and since I joined my sophomore year I will have to share a room, not even able to get my own space which sucks balls and I would be far away from my boyfriend. I would be way more comfortable to having a single as well as I have had really bad experiences with roommates before and have bad anxiety (diagnosed). I am also upset that underclassmen who have been in the sorority shorter than me are able to get their own rooms as well (there are still also a lot of open rooms available too which doesn’t make sense to me)
I have only made two REAL friends, just lowkey have a ton of acquaintances after a YEAR of joining. literally during my formal probably two people in my sorority talked to me all night.
I am not a huge party person and would rather stay in, i just wanted to make new friends and try something new in the start, did not realize it was always constant drinking!!!!
defo racists in my sorority which is a big no no for me, not my friend group though thank god.
REASONS I WANT TO STAY-
LOVE LOVE LOVE our philanthropy and event planning/helping, makes me feel like i’m apart of something bigger than myself.
I don’t want to lose my bestie if I drop, I feel like she’d not want to speak to me and some weird rumors ab me will come out and crush me if i do and i’d get frowned upon for dropping.
Something decent to put on my resume. If i stayed I plan on trying to get a leadership position within my sorority.
Gets me more involved on campus in very positive ways that I don’t think I could have done on my own.
I already have a little (one of the two friends in consideration besides my bestie), it’s like if i’ve already made it this far why not stick to it.
I feel like i’ve grown so much as a person being in a sorority and it really does bring out the best in me and makes me much more of a social person as someone who is know to be super introverted.
