No need to go to that extreme.

You gave it a try, it wasn't for you. It happens, it's ok to be a little upset, but you pick up and move on and try something else. Maybe find a club that isn't as intense.

How many people would have not even tried?

I wanted to quit rush from the first 15 minutes. Like I said, the experience is horrible for non-NTs. Heck, it's horrible for some NTs! And I can tell you from the other side, rush even makes the girls recruiting you nervous!

Like others have said, there are plenty of other organizations you can join. I'm way more active in the history club than I ever was in my sorority. Keep looking till you find something that works for you. :)
