Disaffiliating?

[adpiucf]

Give the sorority another try this fall. Often new bonds and friendships are formed during recruitment.

Make an effort to come around this fall. Take a little sister. Get involved in non-sorority organizations on campus and encourage your sisters to join, too. You will make friends this way, both with the sorority members who have a common interest in the organization, as well as new non-Greek friends who may become potential sisters!

Everyone has issues with their chapter, and the grass always seems greener at the house next door. It really just comes down to making the effort-- take on a leadership position in the chapter or plan an activity for the chapter or a group of sisters.

If your illness flares up to the point where you are unable to be in school, this would justify going inactive. So would an unforseen financial inactivity.

Membership is not something you can activate and de-activate at will. Either you are a member, you are a member experiencing an unforseen medical or financial hardship (temporary inactivity for the school year), or you are not a member at all (you voluntarily relinquish your rights to be a sister forever).

Make the effort and decide what is important to you. If you are not enjoying the chapter anymore by Winter Break, then make sure you are paid up, write a letter (dated) to the chapter president, CC the chapter adviser, and cancel your membership. You will no longer be a sister, and have no further financial or time committment to the sorority. You can't wear sorority letters ever again, claim membership in ABC or rush another sorority. So make sure you are certain this is what you want to do.

Good luck!
