You mentioned you don't like going to meetings....why? Are they negative? You mention numbers lessening....is there a constant struggle during meetings about COB's that bring you or the chapter down? Do you think that perhaps you aren't the only one fighting these feelings?
If you feel that they are negative....why not talk to your sisterhood chair to pep up the meetings. Try to make them fun so you and others will want to reengage in the meetings. Perhaps sponsor a sisterhood event after a meeting to remind you why you found your place when you pledged. Find out what is inspring your roommate and draw from her energy. If you are getting pressure because of COB numbers, why not look for new idea's that are fun and inspire sisterhood. Be a solution to the problems, not accentuate them by leaving.
My opinion....quitting is too easy...isn't doesn't build character, it doesn't teach you anything so when real tough things happen you have the drive and confidence to push through it! When the tough stuff does happen your network will be gone when you need support the most. You can use the money, time, argument until your blue in the face, but it's purely an excuse....believe me many, many sorority women around the country pay apartment rent and grocery bills AND they are successful in school, work, and their chapter.
Sorry if this is coming across harshly, but you don't learn and succeed in any aspect of life by looking for an out....you learn by stepping up and interacting to make the chapter a better place. I promise you will later feel a huge sense of accomplishment versus a sad fading memory about how you left.......
