Wait...you joined a sorority but you don't drink?
I thought sororities weren't that different from frats, and most frats I know are nothing more than drinking buddy clubs...?
Anyways, it depends upon the party. At some parties, you can get away with just holding a cup, and no one will notice or care that it's empty or filled with soda.
But if it's a hardcore binge-drinking party that might not work so well, although you're lucky because it's usually guys that get pressured to drink. And it's usually the guys doing the pressuring. As far as I know, ladies get left alone more, and if you're hot the guys might not even care if you're drinking.
Also, if the party has dancing, that usually gives you an excuse to not drink, since it's kind of hard to do drink and dance at the same time.
However, if you don't really like drinking at all, you might not find much in the way of company that you enjoy socializing with there. Once again, it depends upon the party. But I don't drink that much and used not to drink at all, and being sober around drunk people is usually not much fun...unless the drunk person is a close friend, who you can laugh at for being silly in the morning.
But most average drunk people are very annoying when you're sober. Especially guys. Guys get very annoying when they're drunk. But there's something about drinking alcohol that makes it easier to tolerate other people who are also drinking alcohol.
Because of that, most people who don't like drinking tend to avoid these parties. So if you're looking to meet people who know how to have fun without drinking, you might be better off attending other non-drinking social events. Then again, at some colleges that's really hard. If frat parties are your only option for a social outlet, then your best best is to attend the parties that draw a mixed crowd, not just the party-hard crew.

I'm sure people wouldn't mind. I think most people go to parties to socialize but they just drink cause it's there and it helps them relax. Anybody who doesn't like that you're not drinking is probably just trying to get into your pants or something. I'm sure everybody else will be fine with it though.
