Small Greek systems/chapters do not operate in the same way as large Greek systems/chapters. That is a fact. I mean, if you're trying to turn your chapter into something like you'd see at (example) Ole Miss or DePauw when none of the other chapters on campus are that way, it just simply isn't going to happen.
It could be that most of the girls in your chapter - or at your school for that matter - wouldn't have ever pledged if they had to deal with the businesslike atmosphere, the rules, and restrictions that some of the bigger chapters have. If it becomes that way, they'd quit. I know a lot of people on here have said they would not have been Greek at a school vastly bigger (or smaller, or richer, or poorer) from theirs.
Honestly, this sounds like you thought you were getting Saks Fifth Avenue and got K Mart instead - but there isn't a Saks in town. If you think the "sorority experience" means a, b, and c, and your chapter/school isn't providing that or doesn't want to provide it, you either need to put up with it and not complain or quit.
