If the OP (along with many other girls who disaffiliate) would be shown from the start that being in a sorority is WORK and that much is expected of them, I don't think we would have this problem. Just because you're asking someone to work doesn't mean you don't care about them...but if you've coddled them for 6 weeks I can see where they would get confused.

Well said! It is interesting that we've changed the pledge periods at just the time we have one of the most coddled age cohorts ever going through college. Not a good combo really.
