Getting to know people is a 2-way street no matter who you're talking about - and that is the same for your sorority sisters. You can't just join and then magically you will be best friends with everyone.
Lots of people have student loans. I know I did when I was in college, but it all worked out.
It sounds to me you just like wearing your letter sweatshirts and having a pin in your jewlery box.
Being in a sorority is more than just an "idea" of sisterhood. You get out of it what you put into it. It's as simple as that.
If you don't want to put anything into it, there's the door.

I appreciate you being honest with me about this. I suppose I just have a lot to think about.
I did join to meet more people...When I pledged, I met so many new people and loved it, and when the first new pledge class after me came, I got to know them very very well and am close to people there.
I love my friends in and out of the sorority. For the sisters I'm close to I don't think I need the sorority events to maintain our friendships.
I guess there's no way to be close to 100 girls, but I think this is what I hoped for, even though it is unrealistic. So when I see a girl I don't know well wearing my letters I just feel like the whole thing isn't important. Our chapter also almost doubled in size in the last 3 years, which is part of the problem (for me).
I guess the overall problem is that I don't feel very close to the chapter as a whole and don't really have the time(or energy) to invest in it to have a big position or to become good friends with everyone. And this makes me feel like I'm not putting enough in or getting enough out of it, so I might as well not be in it.
