RoseBud, I would not worry about asking your sorority sisters for a place to stay frequently.
My third year with my sorority, I was living at home with my parents and the distance is a good twenty-minute commute. Our chapter meetings are on Sunday evenings and at the time we were still have rather long meetings that were cutting into my sleeping schedule. I asked a sister if I could sleep on her floor on those nights that meetings went rather late. (We currently have no house.) It got to the point where I was staying there consistently every Sunday night for months.
I never felt unwelcome at her place even though she had to alter her schedule a little. (She requires much less sleep than I, and I do go to sleep very early.) But I knew that I was welcome any time that I needed to do so, because my sisters preferred that I be safe and not drive long distances when I am that sleepy. I am sure your sisters do not want you driving that late at night, whether or not you have been drinking.
If you are still worried about "being a pest" just sit down with them and make sure that you are not interferring with their activities. If you are in any way, I am sure they will be very willing to work it out with you.
As a side note, just make sure that you are drinking in a responsible manner especially since your parents don't know that you are doing it. Years from now it will slip out in front of them. But if you drink responsibly from the beginning, they will only be disappointed that you felt it necessary to keep the information from them. I am lucky. My parents encouraged me to try drinking at home, with them or in their presence or with my siblings, just to insure that my first experiences were in a safe situation. They were pretty shocked that I chose to wait until I was of age to drink and I don't drink often.
