I truly cannot afford it, and just don't really see it as an important part of my life. I have friends in my chapter, but the girls I click the most with aren't Greek at my school. As I've had time off, away from school and sorority life, I have decided that I want to drop out. How do I begin to go through this process, and how do I go about informing my chapter of my decision without hurting feelings or losing the friends I have made thus far?

Remember that sisterhood lasts a lifetime, not just for 4 years (or however long it'll take you to finish school). While I'm close to one or two of my chapter sisters, I've found over the years since becoming an alum that some of my greatest memories were made with sisters I had met online (through these forums) and at Convention.
You've only been a member for a semester. You obviously made a connection with this group in order to get a bid, stick with your new member program, and you allowed yourself to get initiated. You haven't even given yourself the chance to experience what the sorority has to offer.
If you're really serious about ending your membership, you should talk to your chapter's Executive Council/Board (whatever your sorority calls it) so that they can help you take care of any obligations you might still have. They'd be the best source of information.
