As someone who has been out of college now for over 9 years...
You have to think about the big picture.
Get a copy of your ritual book and read--really read it. Really think about what it means to you. Think about how you can incorporate it into your everyday life, and especially in your dealings with your sisters.
I went through some times of doubt with my chapter too--but now I look back and remember a lot more good times than bad ones, and I remember the women who got me through some rough spots in my personal life, and I realize that I am a better person for all of it--good and bad.
We all deal with adversity in our life, and we have to somehow find a way to get through it.
I've often thought of our commitment to a sorority as being similar to a marriage. In the beginning you're in the "honeymoon stage". Then real life kicks in, and it isn't always pretty--but somewhere in there is the heart of why you committed in the first place.
