Dropping my sorority

If you end up quitting, so be it. But don't expect the girls to still want to be friends.
If you stick with it actively participate. Don't be a deadbeat and blame the chapter because "it never clicked" for you.

True, it has been only ~5 months, but if I'm not in love with it then I'm not comfortable paying upwards of $2000 to continue to be a part of it.

The reasons that I wanted to be a part of greek life do not align with what I feel that this chapter has to offer - end of story. That does not make me a deadbeat and I am not blaming the chapter, there is just a serious disconnect there. I don't want to be in a sorority just for the sake of being in a sorority.

I am asking if anyone knows the proper procedure for dropping is.

If you don't feel comfortable talking to someone in your chapter about this yet because you haven't ultimately made a decision, I would recommend maybe sending a private message to someone that is in your sorority here on GC. At least that way you can get some information specific to your organization. Not every sorority's procedures are going to be the same, so advice offered may not be correct if it comes from someone outside of your particular sorority.

I figured each sorority had different procedures - I will look into this. Thank you! I've tried looking it up in my sorority's bylaws and handbooks but haven't had much luck.

Putting the confusion aside (not sure if you are transferring, want to resign, or what, based on all you've written):

If you are a Kappa Alpha Theta, feel free to PM me and I can explain the process of resigning your membership. Your options are limited and you need to act quickly if that is your choice. There are financial responsibilities and obligations that kick in as soon as the semester starts.

The individual chapter's by-laws likely do not address this, because it is in the (inter)national constitution/bylaws. Does that make sense?

I am almost positive that I want to resign at this point, but I want to talk to someone about what my options are. I'm not a Kappa Alpha Theta, but I appreciate your willingness to help! That makes perfect sense, I will try to get in touch with an advisor as soon as I talk to my parents about my decision.
