I am so sorry to invade your board, please forgive me. I think the first year being in the sorority is a difficult one and emotions are still running high. When I took my first summer off from the sorority I was regretting going back, but after recruitment that year I had made some new connections with sisters. I did my four years as an undergrad and cried like a baby when I had to go alum. I guess what I'm trying to say is I had similar feelings as yours (we are a commuter campus, too) there are times when being in a sorority is hard, you know the drama and hard work but those feelings just made my experience so much more sweeter. I used to tell my sisters in my chapter who felt these types of feelings (everyone does at one time or another) would you quit your job just because you are putting in all the hard work and no one else is, or your boss is a b***h, No. I would say just hang in there because one year out of four isn't half way through and you don't know the experiences you'd be missing if you left now. Once again I am so sorry I invaded your board.
Good luck.
Fraternally, Susan
