Wow. Everyone is being so nice. Hmm...
I'm sorry. You say you like these girls, but obviously if their "reputation" is enough to make you even THINK about depledging, then do it. These girls gave YOU the opportunity and chance when obviously none of the other orgs did. You should feel privileged. This organization deserves more than someone who's just worried about reputation. You obviously don't like these girls enough to look past what other people think of them.
When I was a new member, my chapter was at half total. We didn't really hang out with any fraternity guys except a select few "popular" girls. Our mixers sucked. I always wondered what was so great about the other sorority that made all the fraternity guys wana hang out with them but I didn't really care because I loved my sisters no matter what. Think about it. Do you think you could end up feeling like that? Do you think you could love your sisters and not care about guys and reputations? If not, then leave. Like I said, this organization deserves better.
And you know what? Two years later we doubled our numbers, were the biggest on campus (ok by like 2 or 3 members), were at total, and this year was the 3rd year in a row that we won Greek Week. If everyone cared so much about our reputation before, we wouldn't have built up to a champion sorority. We didn't do it for reputation.... we did it because it was fun, because for once we wanted bragging rights, and because it's just what happens to chapters all the time. A few years down, a few years up. I was on campus for 6 years and saw it with every sorority and fraternity.
I hope this helps.
