Disaffiliation

I really need some help.

I pledged my chapter in January, after investigating ALL of the national sororities (and I do mean ALL). I fell in love with XYZ, and I stuck it through the entire pledge process. I liked my chapter, although they were experiencing some internal difficulties at the time I pledged (which I didn't learn about till just recently).

So, now it's October, I'm a full-flegded member, and I couldn't be more miserable. There is a considerable amount of corruption and rule-breaking (I understand some rules may be archaic, but some other rules are there for a reason) going on, and I don't feel as if I can be a part of it anymore. I have tried my hardest to recruit new members (our numbers are very low), and boost house morale, but I don't feel like my efforts are being appreciated, or even acknowlegded.I know you get out what you put into it, but I've put so much into it, that I feel my other endeavors are suffering. The people currently in charge are more concerned with having parties with fraternities (which violates our alcohol rules) than saving the house. They aren't as community-minded as I'd have liked---I organized an altruism effort, and 5 sisters showed up, two of which did NOTHING. Recruitment events, and even chapter meetings are ignored and missed.

So, as much as I love my sorority, I can no longer be an active member with a clean conscience. I am, however, more than willing to pay dues to the National Headquarters, and not to my chapter. Is this possible as a collegiate---to become either an alumna member or a simple "member-at-large"? I want to remain a member, but I can no longer be affiliated with the chapter.
