One thing that stuck out to me was that you said that your chapter doesn't pressure members to party, but that you still have concerns about "turning into that". How you respond to the "temptations" is up to you and it sounds like no one is giving you any hassle.

Did you consider that perhaps you are not the only one in your chapter who feels that way? Maybe there are other girls who would prefer a night in watching movies and would be relieved that there's a sister like you to keep them company. Maybe there are other Christian girls who would be interested in attending the campus Bible study nights. Are there ways for you to stay and be a positive light and influence on others?

Before making such a harsh decision, it may be to your benefit to talk to your chapter adviser for advice. It may just be that you feel a little disconnected from the chapter having been away for a semester. Plus, the extra partying that goes on at the beginning of the school year will taper off as people settle into their classes and midterms.

If you still feel led to quit, just writing a letter and leaving your badge in the president's mailbox won't likely suffice. Your chapter will have to process you out through the international office (assuming you are in a national sorority). You will need to check with your individual chapter for specifics on your sorority's policies. That's another good reason to contact your chapter adviser.

I encourage you to think about this carefully prior to making a decision that you may not be able to take back.
