Unhappy struggling with Greek life

I have been Greek for a year now and there are times when I both regret and not regret about accepting my bid. I've built everlasting friendships with sisters from my sorority along with other Greek organization members and I thank God for putting them in my life. I'm sure that all organizations have a bit of drama going on within. It makes me wonder if this is what true sisterhood is all about. When members don't participate in events, backstab each other, spread rumors, or even come to disaffiliating, don't warning bells ring in people's minds? You'd wonder why people disaffiliate.

I get it that when we recruit or rush potential members, we of course leave out all the negative aspects. But is it fair to anyone? Is it being just to suck innocent bystanders into our world that may be filled with lots of drama and more than they bargained for? Then there's the whole financial crisis. What if a potential member has all the endearing qualities but lacks sufficient funds to pay her dues? Do we just turn her away? There are those members who ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVIELY, LOOOOOOOOOVE their organization. Good for them! I personally feel that being Greek is a part of my life and not my entire life. We as human beings have other things going on such as school, family, relationships with others, religious affiliations, work, etc. When those take more precedence over certain Greek events, we are penalized.

Am I the only one who feels the way that I do? I've been struggling with this thought process a lot lately.
