Stay. If you were an underclassman contemplating dropping out, my advice would be the same to stick it out through the end of the semester.

I agree about the scholarships. They won't be huge, but they will be a lot more than the couple hundred bucks you owe for dues this semester (and I found them really easy to get because people forget about them and don't apply!). Also, if you are moving to a new place, joining an alumnae association is a really easy way to make friends and make the place seem less foreign.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone here who will recommend you drop under these circumstances. If you truly can't afford dues because of unexpected costs, talk to your chapter treasurer and see if a payment plan is possible. You're so close to the home stretch of the end of the semester. To resign, you need to make sure you are paid up as of the time you put in your notice, so we're talking about saving money on two months of dues, tops. Is that really worth it after all the effort you've put in to be no longer be recognized for all your hard work this year? Although sorority life is not "paying for your friends," your sisters will be hurt and confused by your leaving, and it could temporarily stunt your friendships with them. That could upset you and throw you off your game when it comes to focusing on schoolwork and school obligations. With just a few months left until graduation (and final exams), I wouldn't recommend doing anything rash to jeopardize your grades.

I get it. You have a lot going on, and you're feeling overwhelmed about graduation, grad school, the sorority, etc. So it seems natural that something's got to go to make you feel less stressed out. But nothing you have said makes it seem like you don't like your sorority or that this is a dire financial situation. I want to point out that I'm all for people dropping out if they are completely miserable with their sorority. Life's too short if something isn't working out for you. But that doesn't seem the case here. It will really help to talk to your family, friends, and sisters about these concerns.
