What MysticCat said is spot on. Now, as to your specific questions.

You might find a niche in *a* fraternity. However, from what you have described about yourself and your personal views on this chapter, perhaps this chapter is not for you.

I don't know if it is nerves or something else. Regardless, you should worry less. Or at least not over think it. If you are not a fit with the chapter, then so be it. It is as simple as that.

Personally, no. However, I have known those who have regretted bidding someone. Which is why some fraternities and/or chapters have a membership vote before a pledge is allowed to initiate.

Not necessarily. Part of the pledge (new member) process is getting to know both your pledge brothers and the actives better. And for them to know you better.

Some fraternities might care while other chapters may not.

I don't want to be like the only guy in the frat who doesn't get laid and get hell for it because I don't hook up with random sluts. Or I don't want to go to parties with these guys and feel like an outsider who they regret letting in.
It really is simple. If you are comfortable with the majority of your pledge brothers and the chapter, then you should consider staying and continue pledging. You may always drop prior to initiation. However, if you are not comfortable - nor do you anticipate any positive change in your comfort level - then you should drop.

It may be difficult at first for some guys to feel a connection. Yet for others, it is an easy fit from the get go. It really depends on the individual, the chapter, and the campus culture.

Best of luck to you.
