Quitting
Do sororities/fraternities allow their members to quit? I mean, if the resident no longer wants to be affiliated with them, would they allow that resident to quit? And what happens next when the resident has already expressed his/her intentions? Is quitting really harder than joining?

it depends on the organization. I'm going through a period right now where I'm gradually leaving my sorority, but I'm retaining all of my close friends. on my campus, the girls go where their friends already are, so the bonds made by sorority members are made before sorority life. I don't feel as though I'm going to lose my best friends by doing this. the only things I will lose are ritual and most events. some organizations require you to be a member for life and others shun you if you deactivate. it all depends on the group.

Being a sorority member, I have an idea of what happens. Quitting isn't harder than joining. I lose all respect for people who quit. Because by quitting, they turn their back on the creed, the bond, everything... it's just not right.
But what they do is their decision. By quitting, they obviously don't hold what they have to any value.
I can't completely tell you what happens, but they have to return all their stuff.

I imagine your social life would be ruined if you were to quit. They might make you out to be a backstabber or a traitor. Most of them require you to be hazed to become a member. Not worth it. People who are your real friends would never put you through something like that. There are plenty of other ways to meet people and make friends in college that doesn't require you to lose your dignity or self respect. Since you are already thinking about possibly quitting, then you are having doubts. I suggest you don't get involved.
