Disaffiliating

Hi all,

I'm seeking some help regarding disaffiliation. I joined the frat in September of last year and went through the pledge process and am now a brother. The problem now is that I've realized Greek life isn't something that's for me. The frat made pledging so easy. All we had were weekly meetings. While easy, it didn't show me much about the frat. I was able to go through pledging without realizing it isn't what I wanted. you see, Greek Life is a pretty big thing at my school. A whole week is dedicated to rush, and frats hold some pretty epic events throughout the week. While I wasn't forced to pledge anywhere, I felt somewhat pressured since everyone else was doing it. I know that these were the wrong reasons to join a frat. My problem with the house is that I am not close to some of the brothers. And it isn't until now that I've realized this is a problem that probably won't be remedied. I want to disaffiliate, yet at the same time I want them to understand where I'm coming from and I want to keep the friendships I've made with the brothers I am close to. I know though, that this is pretty damnear impossible.

Anyone have any advice as to how I should go about doing this, or whether I should be doing this at all?
Thanks!
All advice is welcome and appreciated


(Oh btw. I don't want to post what frat I'm in at the moment. Unless it comes up, I'd rather not have to)
