What everyone said above.

And be aware that collegiate and alumnae membership are two completely different things. As an alumna, some people stay heavily involved, some aren't involved at all. For some, it can be used to network professionally, and others use it for friends to go out with on a Friday night, or to swap babysitting duties for each other's kids. Even joining an alumnae chapter isn't a huge commitment. Minor dues payments (my national and local dues amount to less than $100/year), a few meetings (once a month at the most), no attendence requirements, positions with few duties and responsibilities, and fun, adult social events.

I would stick it out. As thetalady said, nothing is required of you right now. If all the sorority is to you is a line on a resume, that's ok. That's the case for most sorority members immediately after graduation. My last semester, I was so tired of it and ready to graduate. It could be exhausting. But since then, I've been my chapter's Recruitment Advisor, helped start our Erie, PA alumnae chapter, was the secretary in our Houston chapter, and I now volunteer as the Lead Editor for our national magazine.

I would urge you not to dismiss it so quickly. Take a break! A long one if you need to. Then reevaluate.
