I am dropping out of my sorority - do you think how I'm planning on doing it is right

[beatlesfan1]

I live an hour away from my school with my dad and he is moving out this June and I cannot go with him (he will not have enough room). I have been looking at apartments for months and all are way too expensive around my school and I'm tired of commuting. On top of that, I found out I am getting laid off at the end of next month, one week after this semester is over. My boyfriend and I decided to move about 6 hours away to a city we love that's really close to my extended family. The apartments are incredibly affordable and there is also a school up there that was my first choice, but I never applied because it was too far. So moving away to an awesome city with my boyfriend, near my family, and transferring to the school I wanted to go to in the first place sounds like a win win situation. I know that I may not get into the school (I believe I have a good chance with my GPA though) but I feel like with the lay off and me being forced to find a place, this is the best decision. I'm leaving in 6 weeks and I am very excited! I'm appying to the school this summer for next Spring as well. Only thing is, is I literally JUST got initiated into my sorority last week. I decided to finish out this semester since I only have 4 weeks left and let them know this summer that I will not be coming back for Fall. Is this a bad idea to wait until summer to tell them that I opt out? Who should I reach out to? What's going to happen? I was planning just on calling my Big and letting her know and I'm guessing I have to talk to the President?

I do like my sorority a lot, but I have made up my mind and like I said I am very excited. Since I like the other school better and I'm getting laid off/forced to move the ONLY thing holding me back from moving is my sorority and I am not going to stay just for that. I totally understand that I cannot join again/join another and I am content with that. I have had a fabulous semester and met so many great people and I will remember this experience for forever, but this is something I NEED and want to do. So please tell me if it's bad if I just let them know in the middle of summer and what the process is going to be like? Thanks!
