A true "feeling of home" comes with time after friendships have developed, after memories have been made.

I agree with this 100%. I come from a school with a greek system entirely unlike normal ones. We only have a few, very different groups, and a long unofficial rush period. Thus, my greek was the only one I was interested in, and when I got a bid I'd spent far more time with far more people in my greek than most people will have during a traditional rush week.
And yet despite all of this, I certainly didn't feel "at home" when I pledged. I enjoyed myself and liked the people I knew, but I didn't start thinking of the group as my home or really feel like they were family until a semester or two in. It takes a while to make that kind of connection and really come to understand your group's mission, etc, even if you go into it loving them.
