I'm going to be honest. Here goes...
To me, these don't sound like good enough reasons to want to quit altogether. If you're really thinking about quitting only because of the reasons you've presented here, I find that kind of sad.
How large is your chapter? Do others not have positions, or is it just you? If you haven't been given a position, maybe it's because you haven't really stepped up. The girls who truly want positions are the ones who put in extra effort with the other ones. Ask your sisters if they need help with planning/setting up for events. Offer suggestions for things like recruitment, fundraising, and social activities. Be active!
If you find that you can't participate in as many activities as other sisters, really stand out at the events that you are able to attend.
You had a major falling out with the President when she was your roommate. Some girls just can't live together (hence the reason why I have never roomed with a close friend). Talk to her! And if you're not living together now, it will make it that much easier.
Your big doesn't talk to you and your little transferred. You sound just like one of my sisters whose big graduated right after she joined, and I don't believe they've spoken in years. Her little, she suddenly left school to get married the summer after she was initiated. And I can think of a few other girls, in my chapter and in others, who aren't extremely close with their big and/or little. It happens.
You ask if it's worth staying in Greek life for the resume boost and alumnae life. I understand that your involvement as a sorority member might look great on a resume, but that should neither be the main reason to join, nor to leave.
And joining a sorority is for life. If staying active for the alumnae part of it doesn't appeal to you (with only these minor problems to worry about now), then.. well.. I don't really know what to say.
