I've got a feeling lots of people will say this, but remember that your membership in Delta Delta Delta is for life. It may be hard this year, but when you finish school and move to a new town, start new jobs, etc., you'll be glad to have Tri-Delta connections.

It happens that we go through stages where we don't feel as connected with brothers/sisters, but things can change. The only real advice I can offer is to remember that it takes work on both sides to stay connected. Perhaps your sister's don't feel as connected because, since you live off campus, they don't see you like they used to. It may take some creativity to figure out ways to keep the connection going.

But regardless, there's still a lifetime of possible new friendships and experiences ahead as an alumna. It would be a real shame, I think, to throw away those new friendships and experiences just because it's gotten hard senior year. I'm not meaning to minimize how you feel right now; I'm just saying that even if things don't get better this year, it's worth sticking it out so that you don't lose the chance to be an alumna member rather than a de-activated member.
