Resigning/Disaffiliating... Help!!

Leslie Anne thank you for your feedback.
Also just to clear the slate I haven't called anyone a jerk.
Wow that's great KD offers early alumna status. Mine definitely does not or else I would have taken that road. I am also not allowed to go inactive to evaluate my thoughts for a semester, according to the house. I really don't want to be associated with my chapter. As a whole I really don't like it, but I do like the national org and dont want to throw away my opportunities as an alum, so great insight and I will consider what you said!

But, what you could do, is attend only mandatory events and do all your requirements for the rest of the semester, so you don't end up in hot water and hang out with your non-glo friends, study and work out during your free time. Sometimes getting away from a situation and decompressing will help you think more clearly.

Now, the downside is that you may feel really disconnected from the chapter, but the solution to that is to just get reinvolved with the non-mandatory events.

Yeah, exactly.

If she was at my alma mater and felt the same way, I'd say "just go to the required things - don't wear your letters - hang out with your non Greek friends a lot and join lots of other groups - stick it out and then you can be active as an alumna."

But the fact is anyone who's an active at an SEC school is putting a SUPER BIG CHUNK O' CHANGE into that sorority membership and not using it to its fullest is kind of nuts, especially in these economic times. You should probably either be the whole way in or be the whole way out, unless your last name is Trump and you can spare the $$.
