I don't really want to participate in our campus activities (mixing with freshman/soph boys isnt fun, im sick of the binge drinking scene, I'm only close with like 10 girls out of the 100 in our chapter) and for the few events I go to, its really not worth the $1000/year I'm paying. So I haven't had any fights/problems with my chapter and I don't want to leave on bad terms... is it possible to ask for alumni status?

It absolutely depends on what organization you're a member of (but don't go posting it on the open board). I would try to stick it out, though.
You could stick around and change things. If you're tired of the drinking and frat scene, maybe you could help pledge girls who share you're way of thinking. It might be good for your whole chapter to get some new blood. Maybe you could take and officer position.
Some organizations can grant early/emergency alum status, but your situation would probably not fall into that category. If you're a freshman, sophomore, or even junior, you're probably going to have to quit or stick it out. I would stick it out...you really have the possibility to change things for your chapter.
