I understand exactly what you're going through--except that I'm a senior now and I went through it as a sophomore. I even wrote a letter of resignation, then I talked to a National Advisor who was visiting our chapter for the weekend. She suggested that I take a semester off, where I focused on making myself happy (I was going through a lot and clashing with some of the members). Then, I'd come back to the chapter, try it, and if I really didn't like it, I could resign--no questions asked.
So, I did what she said, and when I came back, I was more enthusiastic about the house than ever. I did everything, and made really good friends with the women who pledged that spring. After I went abroad and came back, I lived in the house for the first time, and there are problems, but there are way more fun times than bad. Now I'm a senior, and the house has become a big part of my life. I feel like the women who will be in control next year are capable and accomplished. I think it took a few breaks--being inactive and going abroad--to give me enough perspective.
Like so many people are saying, it's okay to take a little break.
