I would encourage you to tell your sisters how you feel. I know that when a girl is considering leaving our chapter, it's usually because she's been quiet about what's been troubling her. It's VERY likely that no one has a clue what you're going through and that can happen when the ladies are extremely busy. As others said you DEFINITELY have to make an effort to hang out with sisters and in my experience as long as you put yourself out there--girls will do the same. I know that dues are expensive, but putting yourself on a budget can help and paying your dues in small amounts is vital. I personally pay my dues (as opposed to my parents paying them) and I just take $20 or $30 bucks from each check and put it towards my dues.
Good Luck sister.
