Those of us who have been married for more than a minute can appreciate that when you make a commitment, regardless of how happy you are at the time, it can suck every once in awhile. The difference is, with divorce, you really have to want out because it's a huge pain in the arse. To dump your sorority membership, in a lot of cases all you have to do more or less is just stop showing up.
I do think, as some pledge classes are growing to ridiculous numbers, there should be an effort made to modify the commitments of that 4th year member who is ready to go postal if she has to serenade one more fraternity or sit through one more meeting about whether the rush shirts should be pink or blue. Maybe it varies by chapter/size/campus culture but I could see an alumna-transitional year where they have less say AND less obligation to the collegiate chapter. I could also see that as a big ole carrot to incentivize getting the chapter to total or whatever number would be required in order to relax the rules for some.
But I also wish there was more consideration for - it's 4 years of your life. Suck it up!
