Unhappy Maybe I'm just getting older, but...

This is going to be somewhat long, and blunt, but I wanted to be honest, as I want honest feedback.

I am afraid that I am starting to loose interest in it all. I am wondering if this is common, and if it is happening to anyone else out there.
A year ago, one of my sisters (who has since graduated) said to me, "Oh, just wait till your Junior year. You start to look at everything differently." Now, I am at the end of my junior year, and wouldn't you know... I see what she means.
I love my sorority. I love the idea behind it. I love our ritual. I love its history, and I love what it stands for. I am just growing tired of the people in it, the way it is run, and the way the smallest, most insignificant thing is made to be the most important thing in the world.
Everything just seems so unimportant, and at times... I am sad to say so stupid.
These are my concerns:
I am not happy with our chapter's choice in new girls. I think that as a result, we are going downhill. They act so immature, and so ditsy.
To me, the chapter has become a flashback of all of the "high school drama" that I despised while in high school.
And as I said before, I am growing tired of the way the sisters make the tiniest, most insignificant thing seem to be the biggest thing in the world. One such example: we had a sister become inactive a couple years ago. Her younger blood sister then decided to rush another sorority on campus. Everyone is all upset about this and acted as though it were the end of the world. My thoughts are simply, "Who cares? If her sister wasn't happy here, of course she's not going to want to come here!"
There are literally only two girls out of the entire chapter who I feel that I can honestly call my sisters. Sadly, one of them is graduating this May. I will really miss her.
As I said, I think this is me just getting older. I think I am just looking at things differently. The new girls are all excited about starting college (as they should be) and just want to have fun (as they should). Me -- I am looking forward to graduating next year and getting married the year after that. I really feel as though that time just can't come soon enough.

The reason why I am writing all this is because I want some advice and feedback. What do you think about all of this? Is this normal?
I by no means want to "quit." But what should I do about this? How can I make myself enjoy everything again? Is that even possible?

I do not mean to offend anyone by this entry. I am sorry if that came across that way. I truly do love my sorority and the Greek System as a whole. This sorority has opened so many doors for me that would never have been open had I not joined. I have just been bothered by these feelings for a long time now, and can really use any advice.

Thank you in advance.
