To the question do we get sick of Greek life by the time we graduate? In my case, HELL YES. But I think that's part of the growing process. I personally could not have gone on to any graduate school without some sort of newsworthy violence happening eventually. Others have a greater tolerance for crowds, groups, social requirements, etc. And some just refuse to ever grow up, and instead of being the pathetic guy who never moves beyond high school becomes the pathetic guy who never moves beyond college. The 2nd semester of my senior year was painful, and probably twice as painful for my sorority sisters who had to tolerate me.

If I can offer a little advice on how to deal with lack of closure? Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. There are 900 times in your life you're not going to really understand what happened - relationships, job loss, job not gained, deaths - and no matter how much time you spend dwelling on it or asking strangers for the answers or talking to psychics, you're NEVER going to understand. Force yourself to stop thinking about it and eventually it will go away. But it's NEVER going to stop haunting you if you keep dwelling on it.

There's a big difference between being sick of the requirements of Greek life, and being sick of your brothers or sisters. I'm sure the same thing happens with athletes, student senators, etc etc. The OP seems to be asking/hoping if the moment we graduate, do we just leave Greek life on the floor like dirty underwear and never revisit it or the people we met in it again.
