Although I'm in a fraternity, I was VP of my chapter last year and can definitely understand how you feel (alienation, loss of passion for your chapter, etc.)
What helped me was my friendships with non-brothers and always having someone I could talk to. Try speaking to older members or alumni that held positions of leadership in the past- they will sympathize with you the most and offer great advice.
The main thing that would always help me was when I thought back to what made me passionate about my organization in the first place. Think about your fondest memories, your ritual and creed, what makes XYZ the best place for you, and so on.
I know it's tough, and it may not be the answer you want to feel, but I think it won't get any better until you're no longer president. Such was the case for me and it took me a few months after my term of office to re-assimilate into my chapter.
Until then, whenever you're having a hard time, think back to what made you run for president in the first place and why you love your sorority.
