I felt all of these things about my org, and I did disaffiliate.
There were constant rumors going around and a lot of backstabbing. Our dues never seemed to be a problem, but I know of a lot of women that were turned away from orgs they were perfect for because they couldn't front hundreds of dollars on such short notice.
At rush the actives told me all about formals, socials, and sisterhood parties. They told us about the fun philanthropies.
They didn't tell us about all the mandatory stuff that would take us away from family. They didn't tell us about the mandatory community service projects that were boring and hard manual labor.
They left out all of the negative stuff, and in my mind, once I had been in for over a year, the negatives did outweigh the positives, and I disaffiliated.
