The label of our sorority is so bad that you may be a cute girl in it but if caught in your letters some would think something was wrong with you (this makes me furious because I PICKED this sorority because I thought the girls seemed nicer-i wasnt aware of the full extent of the reputation until spring semester). I have a few close friends in the sorority but feel totally different from the rest of the girls. I'm afraid that if I drop I'll end up hurting some of the girls feelings. I'm also afraid they will all dislike me strongly even if I make up an excuse (many have thought I would drop for awhile). I have friends outside the sorority and am not living in the house. Greek life is also a huge part of the school I go to, i'm afaid of missing out on things if I drop.

I hate to say this but your perspective is a bit skewed. Being in a sisterhood is beyond your short 4 years of college. If you are unhappy with the reputation of the sorority you are in, then by leaving you will be contributing nothing to trying to make a change for the better. But if you really feel like your presence does not add value to the group as a whole, then I'm sure the opinions of people on a online posting board will not stop you as it already seems like you have made up your mind.
